Advance in Internet technology has changed traditional production planning and control methods. In particular, collaborations between participants in supply chains are being increasingly addressed in industry for enhancing chain-wide productivity. A representative paradigm that emphasizes collaboration in production planning and control is CPFR(Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment). In this paper, we present a multi-agent system architecture that supports the collaborations specified in CPFR. The multi-agent system architecture consists of event manager, data view agent, business rule agent, and collaboration agent. The collaboration agent systematically controls negotiation between supplier and buyer with the aid of collaboration protocol and blackboard. The multi-agent system has been implemented with EJB(Enterprise Java Beans).

본 논문에서는 지능형 의료 정보 제공을 위한 멀티 에이전트 시스템인 MAMI(Multi-Agent system for Medical Image)의 에이전트 플랫폼의 설계 및 구현에 대해 기술한다. MAMI는 여러 의료 정보 중 의료 영상을 위한 멀티 에이전트 시스템이다. MAMI의 가장 중요한 구성 요소는 에이전트 플랫폼이고, 각 에이전트들이 동작할 수 있는 물리적 기반을 제공해 준다. MAMI는 FIPA(Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agent)가 제안하는 관리 모델을 따르고 있다. MAM는 FIPA(Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agent)가 제안하는 관리 모델을 따르고 있다. MAMI에서는 COM(Common Object Model)과 XML(eXtensible Markup Language)로 인코딩된 ACL(Agent Communication Language)을 메시지 교환에 이용하고 있다. 의료 인력을 하나의 에이전트로 개념화하여 시스템에 연결함으로써 소프트웨어 에이전트와 휴먼 에이전트가 지식을 공유하기에 적합한 물리적 기반을 제공해 주며 지능형 의료 정보 서비스를 용이하게 해준다.

The primary objective of all power systems is to maintain the reliability and to minimize outage time for fault or the others. The frequency relaying algorithm perceives a variation of system frequency and thereafter detects the unbalance between generation and load. A multi-agent system is composed of multiple interacting computing elements that are known as agents. In this paper, frequency relaying algorithm is designed by multi-agent system and is implemented by EMTP-MODELS. To verify performance of the frequency relaying algorithm based on multi-agent system, simulations by EMTP have been carried out.

In this paper, a protection system using Multi-Agent concept for power distribution network is proposed. Multi agent system consist of Feeder agent, OCR(Over Current Relay) agent, Recloser agent and Switch agent. An agent calculates and corrects its parameter by itself through communication with neighboring agents and its own intelligence algorithm. Simulations in a simple distribution network show the effectiveness of the suggested protection system. Multi-Agent System, protection of distribution network, Communication.

본 논문은 CORBA, Ice 등의 다른 미들웨어들과 비교하여 성능, 품질, 사용자 편의성 등에서 높은 평가를 받고 있는 공개 메시지 지향 미들웨어인 ZeroMQ 기반의 다중 에이전트 메시지 전송 구조를 제안한다. 제안 구조는 FIPA 에이전트 표준 규격들로부터 MTS(Message Transfer System) 등의 개념들을 빌려와 사용하고 있으며, 다중 에이전트 플랫폼 SMAF(Smart Multi-Agent Framework)의 구조적 장점을 계승한다. 제안 구조는 ZeroMQ 커뮤니티에 알려져 있지 않은 새로운 방식의 피어 대 피어 구조를 사용한다. 제안 구조는 MTS 마다 단 하나의 라우터 소켓만을 사용하여 MTS들 간의 피어 대 피어 통신을 지원한다. 제안 구조는 ZeroMQ가 지원하는 다양한 장치들과 패턴들에 대한 호환성과 확장성을 가지며, 전통적인 분산 에이전트 응용 분야들 뿐 아니라 에이전트들 간의 밀접한 협력을 필요로 하는 지능형 로봇과 같은 분야도 지원할 수 있다.

In this paper, a communication module between Relay agents in a multi-agent system based power distribution network protection system is realized using DNP3.0(Distributed Network Protocol), which is the standard communication protocol of distribution automation system in KEPCO. The key words for agent communication in the multi-agent based protection system are defined and represented by use of DNP application function code. The communication module developed based on the proposed communication scheme is tested by use of the Communication Test Harness, a test tool for DNP protocol, then used to the multi-agent system based power distribution net work protection system.

It is well known that mathematical solutions for multi-agent planning problems are very difficult to obtain due to the complexity of mutual interactions among multi-agents. Most of the past research results are thus based on the probabilistic completeness. However, the practicality and effectiveness of the solution from the probabilistic completeness is significantly reduced by heavy computational burden. In this paper, we propose a practically applicable solution technique for multi-agent planning problems, which assures a reasonable computation time and a real world application for more than 3 multi-agents, for the case of general shaped paths in agent movement. First, to reduce the computation time, an extended collision map is developed and utilized for detecting potential collisions and obtaining collision-free solutions for multi-agents. Second, a priority for multi-agents is considered for successive and interactive modifications of the agent movements with lower priority. Various solutions using speed reduction and time delay of the relevant agents are investigated and compared in terms of the computation time. A practical implementation is finally provided for three different types of agents to emphasize the effectiveness of the proposed interactive approach to multi-agent planning problems.

In the multi-agent system for a single task, the action selection can be made for the real-time environment by using the global coordination space, global coordination graph and MAX-PLUS algorithm. However, there are some difficulties in multi-agent system for multi-tasking. In this paper, a real-time decision making method is suggested by using coordination space, coordination graph and dynamic coordinated state of multi-agent system including many agents and multiple tasks. Specifically, we propose locally dynamic coordinated state to effectively use MAX-PLUS algorithm for multiple tasks completion. Our technique is shown to be valid in the box pushing simulation of a multi-agent system.

A multi-agent technology has emerged as a new paradigm that can flexibly and promptly cope with various environmental changes and complex problems. Accordingly, many researches are being made to establish multi-agent systems in an effort to solve dynamic problems in many fields. However, most previous researches on the multi-agent frameworks aimed at, on behalf of a user, exchanging and sharing information between agents, reusing agents, and suggesting job cooperation in order to integrate and assimilate heterogeneous agents. That is to say, their frameworks mainly focused on the basic functions of general multi-agent. Therefore, they are not suitable to the development of the proper system for a specific field such ,.s a negotiation. In an effort to solve this problem, this research has tried to design a multi-agent framework-base negotiation system, so that for the sake of a user it can evaluate the negotiation messages, manage the negotiation messages, and quickly and exactly exchange messages between negotiation agents. First of all, we have made research on the basic functions hat are necessary in the development of a negotiation system, and then have analyzed the limitations of existing multi-agent frameworks when trying to apply them to a negotiation system. After these efforts, this study suggests a design of multi-agent framework to develop a negotiation system.

멀티 에이전트 시스템은 분산적이고 개방적인 인터넷 환경에 잘 부합된다. 멀티 에이전트 시스템에서는 각 에이전트들이 자신의 목적을 위해 행동하기 때문에 에이전트간 충돌이 발생하는 경우에 조정을 통해 협력할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나 기존의 멀티 에이전트 시스템에서의 에이전트 간 협력 방법에 관한 연구 방법들은 동적 환경에서 서로 다른 목적을 갖는 에이전트간의 협동 문제를 올바로 해결할 수 없다는 문제가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 신경망과 강화학습을 이용하여 목적 패턴을 정확히 결정할 수 없는 복잡하고 동적인 환경하에서 멀티 에이전트의 자동조정 모델을 제안한다. 이를 위해 복잡한 환경과 다양한 행동을 갖는 멀티 에이전트간의 경쟁 실험을 통해 멀티 에이전트들의 행동의 영향을 분석 평가하여 제안한 방법이 타당함을 보였다.
