이동 에이전트는 자율성을 가지고 비동기적으로 수행이 가능한 개체로, 네트워크상의 여러 호스트들을 이동하면서 사용자를 대신해 특정한 작업을 수행하고 다른 에이전트들과 상호 협력할 수 있는 프로세스로 정의된다. 현재 이동 에이전트는 전자 상거래, 이동 통신, 병렬처리, 정보의 검색 및 복구 둥 여러 분야에서 사용된다. 그러나 순수 P2P 환경에서 컴퓨팅 자원을 사용하고자 하는 이동 에이전트들이 이주할 피어의 가용한 자원을 고려하지 않고 이주할 경우, 이주된 에이전트로 인해 해당 시스템의 부하가 증가 된다는 문제점이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 각 피어들에 상주하는 자원 관리 에이전트를 이용하여 부하 정보를 모니터링 하고 이주할 에이전트와 목적지 피어를 결정하게 된다. 이동 에이전트가 이주하는 과정에서 특정 피어의 자원이 예약 선점 되었을 경우 해당 자원이 다른 에이전트에게 할당되는 것을 방지하는 자원 예약 기법을 기반으로 피어들 간의 균형 있는 이주 기법을 제안한다.

Neuroprotection or prevention of neuronal loss is a complicated molecular process that is mediated by various cellular pathways. Use of different pharmacological agents as neuroprotectants has been reported especially in the last decades. These neuroprotective agents act through inhibition of inflammatory processes and apoptosis, attenuation of oxidative stress and reduction of free radicals. Control of this injurious molecular process is essential to the reduction of neuronal injuries and is associated with improved functional outcomes and recovery of the patients admitted to the intensive care unit. This study reviews neuroprotective agents and their mechanisms of action against central nervous system damages.

There are many possible ways to configure database management systems (DBMSs) have challenging to manage and set.The problem increased in large-scale deployments with thousands or millions of individual DBMS that each have their setting requirements. Recent research has explored using machine learning-based (ML) agents to overcome this problem's automated tuning of DBMSs. These agents extract performance metrics and behavioral information from the DBMS and then train models with this data to select tuning actions that they predict will have the most benefit. This paper discusses two engineering approaches for integrating ML agents in a DBMS. The first is to build an external tuning controller that treats the DBMS as a black box. The second is to incorporate the ML agents natively in the DBMS's architecture.

In this paper, we have designed the integrated wire and wireless P2P framework using mobile agents to share efficiently resources as media file. Most of the P2P applications are used on the wire network. We propose the integrated wire and wireless P2P framework. Proposed P2P platform is based on JXTA of Sun Microsystems. But JXTA is pure peer-to-peer network model, so it sends message other peers as broadcast style to request resources. In this way, there are some problems as massage overload, bandwidth loss, etc. In order to solve this problem, we propose a hybrid peer-to-peer network model using mobile agent. Proposed scheme also solve existing hybrid pEp model's flaws which have the delay and low rate due to concentrated server. In proposed scheme, mobile agents that have autonomy and mobility are used to search the location of resources. Besides, mobile agents could solve the loss problem of the search result. To improve P2P QoS(Quality of Service), we could monitor peer's state information using PIP(Peer Information Protocol) of JXTA.

Modern day networks are increasingly moving towards peer to peer architecture where routing tasks will not be limited to some dedicated routers, but instead all computers in a network will take part in some routing task. Since there are no specialized routers, each node performs some routing tasks and information passes from one neighbouring node to another, not in the form of dumb data, but as intelligent virtual agents or active code that performs some tasks by executing at intermediate nodes in its itinerary. The mobile agents can run, and they are free to d other tasks as the agent will take care of the routing tasks. The mobile agents because of their inherent 'intelligence'are better able to execute complex routing tasks and handle unexpected situations as compared to traditional routing techniques. In a modern day dynamic network users get connected frequently, change neighbours and disconnect at a rapid pace. There can be unexpected link failure as well. The mobile agent based routing system should be able to react to these situations in a fact and efficient manner so that information regarding change in topology propagates quickly and at the same time the network should not get burdened with traffic. We intend to build such a system.

Mobile agents have the unique ability to transport themselves from one system in a network to another. The ability to travel allows mobile agents to move to a system that contains services with which they want to interact and then to take advantage of being in the same host or network as the service. But most of conventional mobile agent systems require that the users or the programmer should give the mobile agent its detail behavioral script for accomplishing the given task. And during its runtime, such mobile agents just behave according to the fixed script given by its user. Therefore it is impossible that conventional mobile agents autonomously build their own plants and execute them in considering their ultimate goals and the dynamic world states. One way to overcome such limitations of conventional mobile agent systems is to develop an intelligent mobile agent system embedding a reactive planner. In this paper, we design both a model of agent mobility and a model of inter-agent communication based upon the representative reactive planning agent architecture called JAM. An then we develop an intelligent mobile agent system with reactive planning capability, IMAS, by implementing additional basic actions for agent moves and inter-agent communication within JAM according to the predefined models. Unlike conventional mobile agents. IMAS agents can be able to adapt their behaviors to the dynamic changes of their environments as well as build their own plans autonomously. Thus IMAS agents can show higher flexibility and robustness than the conventional ones.

BPMS (Business Process Management Systems) is aninformation system that systematically supports designing, administrating, and improving the business processes. It can execute the business processes by assigning tasks to human or computer agents according to the predefined definitions of the processes. In this research we developed a task assignment algorithm that can maximize overall process efficiency under the limitation of agents' capacity. Since BPMS manipulates the formal and predictable business processes, we can analyze the processes using queuing theory to achieve overall process efficiency. We first transform the business processes into queuing network model in which the agents are considered as servers. After that, workloads of agents are calculated as server utilization and we can determine the task assignment policy by balancing the workloads. This will make the workloads of all agents be minimized, and the overall process efficiency is achieved in this way. Another application of the results can be capacity planning of agents in advance and business process optimization in reengineering context. We performed the simulation analysis to validate the results and also show the effectiveness of the algorithm by comparing with well known dispatching policies.

Network human-robot interface is an important research topic. In home application, users access the robotic system directly via voice, gestures or through the network. Users explore a system by using the services provided by this system and to some extend users are enable to participate in a service as partners. A service may be provided by a robot, a group of robots or robots and other network connected systems (distributed sensors, information systems, etc). All these services are done in the network environment, where uncertainty such as the unstable network connection, the availability of the partners in a service, exists. Moreover, these services are controlled by several users, accessing at different time by different methods. Our research aimed at solving this problem to provide a high available level, flexible coordination system. In this paper, a multi-agent framework is proposed. This framework is validated by using our new concept of slave agents, a responsive multi-agent environment, a virtual directory facilitator (VDF), and a task allocation system using contract net protocol. Our system uses a mixed model between distributed and centralized model. It uses a centralized agent management system (AMS) to control the overall system. However, the partners and users may be distributed agents connected to the center through agent communication or centralized at the AMS container using the slave agents to represent the physical agents. The system is able to determine the task allocation for a group of robot working as a team to provide a service. A number of experiments have been conducted successfully in our lab environment using Issac robot, a PDA for user agent and a wireless network system, operated under our multi agent framework control. The experiments show that this framework works well and provides some advantages to existing systems.

전통적인 SNMP를 이용한 중앙집중형 네트워크 관리 방식은 빈번한 폴링에 의한 통신량의 증가와 특정관리 노드에 병목 현상이 생기는 문제점을 안고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고 극복하기 위한 이동 에이전트에 의한 네트워크 관리방식들이 연구되어 오고 있다. 그러나 이동 에이전트에 의한 네트워크 관리 방식은 관리해야 될 노드가 증가함에 따라 이동되는 데이터량이 누적 증가되어 효율성이 떨어진다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 이동에이전트를 이용한 분할관리 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 노드들은 그룹들로 나누어지고 별도의 이동에이전트들에 의하여 관리된다. 각각의 이동에이전트들은 자신의 노드들을 방문하고 정보를 수집한다. 제안된 방법이 효율적임을 실험을 통하여 보였다.

Many multicast applications, such as video-on-demand and video conferencing, desire quality of service (QoS) support from an underlying network. The differentiated services (DiffServ) approach will bring benefits for theses applications. However, difficulties arise while integrating native IP multicasting with DiffServ, such as multicast group states in the core routers and a heterogeneous QoS requirement within the same multicast group. In addition, a missing per-flow reservation in DiffServ and a dynamic join/leave in the group introduce heavier and uncontrollable traffic in a network. In this paper, we propose a distributed and stateless admission control in the edge routers. We also use a mobile agents-based approach for dynamic resource availability checking. In this approach, mobile agents act in a parallel and distributed fashion and cooperate with each other in order to construct the multicast tree satisfying the QoS requirements.
