This paper proposes efficient methods that integrate and execute local plan rules of task agents in a multi-agent environment. In these methods, each agent's plan rules are represented in a network structure, and these networks are then collected by a single task agent to build a integrated domain network, which is exploited to achieve the goal. Agent problem solving by using the domain network enables a concurrent execution of plan rules that are sequential in nature.

역할기반 접근통제(RBAC)모델은 쉬운 관리성과 정책 적용의 유연성, 그리고 정책 중립적인 이점으로 인하여, 현재 많은 컴퓨팅 환경에서 적용되고 있다. 하지만 기존에 연구되었던 RBAC 모델들은 대부분 단일 보안 관리를 가정하므로 최근의 협업 컴퓨팅 환경을 위한 접근통제를 설계하는 데 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 협업 컴퓨팅 환경을 다중 도메인 보안(Multi-Domain Security)으로 사상하고, 협업환경을 적절하게 고려하지 않은 RBAC의 적용이 야기할 수 있는 문제점들을 살펴본다.

The design of multi-domain that considers all components of the electromagnetic systems such as air, iron, magnet, and coil is investigated using the topology optimization, interpolation method, and FEM. The design sensitivity equation for the topology optimization is derived using the adjoint variable method and the continuum approach. The proposed method is applied to the topology optimization of C-core actuator.

Let D be an integral domain, S be a saturated multi-plicative subset of D such that $D_S$ is a factorial domain, $\{X_{\alpha}\}$ be a nonempty set of indeterminates, and $D[\{X_{\alpha}\}]$ be the polynomial ring over D. We show that S is a splitting (resp., almost splitting, t-splitting) set in D if and only if every nonzero prime t-ideal of D disjoint from S is principal (resp., contains a primary element, is t-invertible). We use this result to show that $D{\backslash}\{0\}$ is a splitting (resp., almost splitting, t-splitting) set in $D[\{X_{\alpha}\}]$ if and only if D is a GCD-domain (resp., UMT-domain with $Cl(D[\{X_{\alpha}\}]$ torsion UMT-domain).

The Pulse-Pre Pump Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (PPP-BOTDA) technique is introduced to implement the multi-direction strain measurement. The monitoring principle is stated. The layout scheme of optical fibers is proposed. The temperature compensation formula and its realizing method are given. The experiments, under tensile load, combined bending and tensile load, are implemented to validate the feasibility of the proposed method. It is shown that the PPP-BOTDA technique can be used to discriminate the multi-direction strains with high spatial resolution and precision.

A general characterization procedure based on the extraction of a 2n-port admittance matrix corresponding to n uniform coupled lines on the multi-layered substrate using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique is presented. In this paper, the frequency-dependent normal mode parameters are obtained from the 2n-port admittance matrix to analyze multi-layered asymmetric coupled line structure, which in turn provides the frequency-dependent propagation constant, effective dielectric constant, and line-mode characteristic impedances. To illustrate the technique, several practical coupled line structures on multi-layered substrate have been simulated. Especially, embedded conductor structures have been simulated. Comparisons with Spectral Domain Method are given, and their results agree well. It is shown that the FDTD based time domain characterization procedure is an excellent broadband simulation tool for the design of multiconductor coupled lines on multilayered PCBs as well as thick or thin hybrid structures.

Traditionally, multi-story buildings are designed to provide stiffer structural support to withstand lateral earthquake loading. Introducing flexible elements at the base of a structure and providing sufficient damping is an alternative way to mitigate seismic hazards. These features can be achieved with a device known as an isolator. This paper covers the design of base isolators for multi-story buildings in medium-risk seismicity regions and evaluates the structural responses of such isolators. The well-known tower building for police personnel built in Dhaka, Bangladesh by the Public Works Department (PWD) has been used as a case study to justify the viability of incorporating base isolators. The objective of this research was to establish a simplified model of the building that can be effectively used for dynamic analysis, to evaluate the structural status, and to suggest an alternative option to handle the lateral seismic load. A finite element model was incorporated to understand the structural responses. Rubber-steel bearing (RSB) isolators such as Lead rubber bearing (LRB) and high damping rubber bearing (HDRB) were used in the model to insert an isolator link element in the structural base. The nonlinearities of rubber-steel bearings were considered in detail. Linear static, linear dynamic, and nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed for both fixed-based (FB) and base isolated (BI) buildings considering the earthquake accelerograms, histories, and response spectra of the geological sites. Both the time-domain and frequency-domain approaches were used for dynamic solutions. The results indicated that for existing multi-story buildings, RSB diminishes the muscular amount of structural response compared to conventional non-isolated structures. The device also allows for higher horizontal displacement and greater structural flexibility. The suggested isolation technique is able to mitigate the structural hazard under even strong earthquake vulnerability.

Wellknown invariance of domain theorems are Brower's invariance of domain theorem for continuous mappings defined on a finite dimensional space and Schauder-Leray's invariance of domain theorem for the class of mappings I+C defined on a infinite dimensional Banach space with I the identity and C compact. The two classical invariance of domain theorems were proved by applying the homotopy invariance of Brower's degree and Leray-Schauder's degree respectively. Degree theory for some class of mappings is a useful tool for mapping theorems. And mapping theorems (or surjectivity theorems of mappings) are closely related with invariance of domain theorems for mappings. In[4, 5], Browder and Petryshyn constructed a multi-valued degree theory for A-proper mappings. From this degree Petryshyn [9] obtained some invariance of domain theorems for locally A-proper mappings. Recently Browder [6] has developed a degree theory for demicontinuous mapings of type ( $S_{+}$) from a reflexive Banach space X to its dual $X^{*}$. By applying this degree we obtain some invariance of domain theorems for demicontinuous mappings of type ( $S_{+}$). ( $S_{+}$).

Grouting sleeves are an essential connecting component of prefabricated components, and the quality of grouting has a significant influence on structural integrity and seismic performance. The embedded grouting sleeve (EGS)'s grouting defects are highly undetectable and random, and no effective monitoring method exists. This paper proposes an ultrasonic guided wave method and provides a set of guidelines for selecting the optimal frequency and suitable period for the EGS. The optimal frequency was determined by considering the group velocity, wave structure, and wave attenuation of the selected mode. Guided waves are prone to multi-modality, modal conversion, energy leakage, and dispersion in the EGS, which is a multi-layer structure. Therefore, a time-reversal (TR)-based multi-mode focusing and dispersion automatic compensation technology is introduced to eliminate the multi-mode phase difference in the EGS. First, the influence of defects on guided waves is analyzed according to the TR coefficient. Second, two major types of damage indicators, namely, the time domain and the wavelet packet energy, are constructed according to the influence method. The constructed wavelet packet energy indicator is more sensitive to the changes of defecting than the conventional time-domain similarity indicator. Both numerical and experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible and beneficial for the detection and quantitative estimation of the grouting defects of the EGS.

EALQR (Linear Quadratic Regulate. design with Eigenstructure Assignment capability) has the capability of exact assignment of eigenstructure with the guaranteed margins of the LQR for MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) systems. However, EALQR undergoes a restriction on the state-weighting matrix Q in LQR to be indefinite with respect to the region of allowable closedloop eigenvalues. The definiteness of the weighting matrix is closely related to the robustness property of a given system. In this paper, we derive a relation between the indefinite weighting matrix Q and the robustness property for EALQR. The modified frequency domain inequality, that could be guaranteed by EQLQR with an indefinite weighting matrix, is presented.
