Abstract

In this research, we developed a Multi-Agent based Negotiation Support System to be able to increase the competitive power of a company in dynamic environment and correspond to various orders of customers by diffusion of electronic commerce. The system uses the agent technology that is being embossed as new paradigm in dynamic environment and flexible system framework. The multi-agent technology is used to solve these problems through cooperation of agent. The system consists of six sub agents: Mediator, manufacturability Analysis Agent, Process Planning Agent, Scheduling Agent, Selection Agent, Negotiation-strategy Building Agent. In this paper, the proposed Multi-Agent based Negotiation Support System takes aim at the automation of transaction process from ordering to manufacturing plan through the automation of negotiation that is the most important in order-taking transaction.

전자상거래의 확산에 따른 환경변화 속에서 다품종소량 생산하는 주문제조업체들이 다양한 고객들의 주문에 대응하고, 동적으로 변화하는 내 외적 기업환경 속에서 경쟁력을 제고시키기 위해 본 연구에서는 멀티에이전트 기반 협상지원시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 동적으로 변하는 환경과 고객들의 주문에 대응하고, 유연한 시스템구조를 이루는데 있어 새로운 패러다임으로 부각되고 있는 에이전트 기술을 사용하였다. 또한, 에이전트간의 협업을 통해 문제를 해결할 수 있는 멀티에이전트 기술을 사용하였다 본 연구에서 제시한 멀티에이전트 기반 협상지원시스템은 주문제조업체에서 가장 중요한 거래활동인 협상의 자동화를 통해 주문에서부터 생산에 이르는 일련의 모든 거래활동을 자동화하는 것을 목적으로 한다.
