Web을 위한 에이전트를 구축하거나 구입할 때, 우리는 그 에이전트가 가능한 한 잘 수행하기를 바란다. 이는 점점 에이전트가 Web의 정보 자원들 뿐만 아니라 거기에서 운영되는 다른 에이전트들을 이용할 수 있어야 함을 의미한다. 그리고 멀지 않아 대단히 많은 에이전트들이 존재할 것이다. 정보적으로 혼란한 Web으로부터 진화할 것으로 보이는 계산구조는 사용자, 서비스, 그리고 데이터 자원들을 대표하는 무수한 에이전트들로 구성된다. 이러한 구조에서의 전형적인 사용 패턴으로, 자원 에이전트는 서비스들에 광고하고, 사용자 에이전트는 이러한 서비스를 이용하여 자원 에이전트를 찾아 필요한 정보에 대해 질의하는 것이다. 서로 다른 사용자들을 대표하는 에이전트들이 정보를 찾고 융합하는데 협력할 수도 있으나, 상품과 자원을 위해 경쟁할 수도 있다. 유사하게 서비스 에이전트들은 사용자, 자원, 그리고 다른 서비스 에이전트들과 협력하거나 경쟁할 수 있다. 그들이 협력자이건 경쟁자이건 간에, 에이전트들은 목적을 갖고 상호작용해야만 한다. 대부분의 의도적인 상호작용은 - 정보를 알려주거나, 질의하거나, 또는 속이기 위하여 - 에이전트들이 서로 대화하는 것을 필요로 한다. 그리고 이해 가능한 대화를 위해서는 서로가 이해할 수 있는 언어가 필요하다.

현재 사용되고 정보 서비스 기술의 형태는 다양화, 복잡화되고 있지만 대부분 웹 기반 서비스 기술을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 기술은 분산되어 있는 정보를 가공하는 과정이 복잡하고, 검색결과가 너무 많아 정보의 질이 저하된다. 또한, 한정적인 대역폭으로 인해 네트워크 상에 지연문제가 발생하여 효율적인 정보를 사용자에게 전달하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 멀티 에이전트 기반의 Web/Mobile 환경에서의 능동적 정보 서비스를 위한 시스템을 구현한다. 제안된 멀티 에이전트시스템에서는 기존의 웹 기반 정보 서비스가 가진 단점들을 해결하기 위해서 이동 에이전트의 작업 실행 모듈을 분리하는 CORBA 기반의 이동에이전트를 구현하여 분산된 다양한 정보를 효과적으로 수집하였고, 네이밍 에이전트의 호스트 이주를 위해 노드의 위치 투명성 및 최초 라우팅 스케줄을 지정하는 네이밍 에이전트를 구현하였다. 마지막으로 사용자에게 지속적인 정보 서비스를 제공함으로 네트워크 트래픽을 가중시키는 문제를 해결하였다.

The more mobile devices consuming web services, the more QoS-aware selection of mobile web services, we need. A QoS(Quality of Service) contract is an agreement between the web service provider and the mobile user that specifies the level of the service quality. Web services users can be assured of the level of the service quality specified by the QoS contract. We propose a broker-based framework for QoS-aware mobile web services selection in this work. Under this architecture, the mobile users can request the web services through the service broker on the wireless networks. The service broker utilizes agents to monitor the web services quality and manages the service quality by notifying the service provider and mobile user of the service contract violation. Reliability, response time, and cost were the metrics used for QoS monitoring. Futhermore mobile users can select a web service best suited for his/her needs through the service broker.

Objectives: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of collagen cross-linking agents (CCLAs) used in combination with the adhesive technique in restorative procedures. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review, the authors followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. An electronic search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, LILACS, and DOSS, up to October 2020. The gray literature was also researched. Only randomized clinical trials were selected. Results: The selection process yielded 3 studies from the 838 retrieved. The addition of CCLAs in the retention of restorations increased the number of events. The postoperative sensitivity scores and marginal adaptation scores showed no significant difference between the CCLA and control groups, and the marginal pigmentation scores showed a significant increase in the CCLA group. There were no caries events in any group throughout the evaluation period. Conclusions: This systematic review showed that there is no clinical efficacy to justify the use of CCLAs in the protocols performed.

In order to provide efficient retrieving results for user query on the web environment, the various searching algorithms have developed and considered user's preference and convenience. However, the searching algorithms are developed on the horizontal and non hierarchical web environment in general and could not apply to the complex hierarchical and functional web environments such like the enterprise network. In this paper, we purpose the multi-agent based web mining system which can provide the efficient mining results to the user on the special web environment. For doing this, we suggest the network model with the hierarchical web environment and model the multi agent based web mining system which has four corporation agents and fourteen process modules. Then, we explain the detailed functions of each agent considered the hierarchical environment according to the module. Especially, we purpose the new merging agent and improved ranking algorithm by using the graph theory.

The rapid growth of IT technologies enables the quality of human's daily life to be improved dramatically, Contrasting to the services in previous computing environment directed by user's request, the services in ubiquitous computing era of new IT technology are provided through recognizing users intention and utilizing context-aware information suited to the user. According to the contextual information, agents need to set a dynamic goal to achieve and work collaboratively with other agents. Agents that take control over their behaviors with capability of communicating with other agents become a thrust in this up-coming computing environment. This work focuses on building ontologies, shared knowledge bases among agents, to improve semantical interoperability among agents. More attention is given to the construction and effective management of ontology repository along with its requirement and organization. Ontology agent suggested takes an initiative role to manage the repository in a distributed manner and to facilitate the use of ontology in a multi-agent environment.

Because a quantity wireless internet contents is much less than wired internet contents, it exist high necessities that wired internet contents should be converted into wireless internet contents. The conversion server implemented in this paper, automatically recognizes the type of user agents when they request, retrieves source documents on the web site specified by an URL, generates metaXML documents as an intermediate form, and converts them wireless markup documents appropriate for user agents. The conversion server interoperates with the image converter for image conversion and the clipper which is an authoring tool for clipping existing wired internet documents. We performed experiments about capability of the conversion server transcoding static/dynamic web pages specified by an URL. According to performance results on dynamic web pages, the conversion server showed better throughput when a thread pool in the terror maintains 5 threads compared with 1 and 10 threads.

It has been proposed diverse methods to use web information efficiently as the size of information is increasing. Most of search systems use a keyword-based method that mostly relies on syntactic information. They cannot utilize semantic information of documents and thus they could generate to users. To solve shortcoming in searching documents, a technique using the Semantic Web is suggested. A semantic web can find relevant information to users by employing metadata which are represented using standard ontologies. Each document is annotated with a metadata which can be reasoned by agents. In this paper, we propose a search system using semantic web technologies. Our semantic search system analyzes semantically questions that user input, and get resolution information that user want. To improve efficiency and accuracy of semantic search systems, this paper proposes DQL(DAML Query Language) engine that employs inference engine to execute reasoning and DQL converter that changes keyword form question of the user to DQL.

The Semantic Web Services is a next-generation Web technology that supports Web services, based on the semantic Web technologies. Until now, the researches on semantic Web services may be foiled on the semantic Web document management and the inference engine to efficiently process the semantic Queries. However, in order to realize the principle semantic Web environment it is necessary to provide a semantic query interface though which users and/or agents can efficiently request semantic information. In this regard, we propose the Semantic Query Adapter(SQA) to provide a high query transparency with users, especially when querying about a complex semantic information. We first design the procedural user query interface based on a graphic view, by analyzing DAML-S Profile documents. And then, we builds a module which a user input query transforms its corresponding RDQL. We also propose the multiple semantic query generating procedure as a new method to solve the disjunctive query problem of the RDQL primitive.
