The importance of electronic commerce system has been growing rapidly due to development of information technology and acceleration of enterprise e-business. Electronic commerce system must provide convenient interface, easy and fast searching function, and product information satisfied customer's. A study about the system that used a reasoning technique and an Agent technology for this is required. In this paper, we designs electronic commerce system with customer preference and sales agent which is composed of case-based reasoning and rule-based reasoning for high customer satisfaction. Also, we were shown on an appropriateness of a proposal system by an experiment.

The use of mobile agents for collaborative processing in wireless sensor network has gained considerable attention. This is when mobile agents are used for data aggregation to exploit redundant and correlated data. The efficiency of agent-based data aggregation depends on the agent migration scheme. However, in general, most of the proposed schemes are centralized approach-based schemes where the sink node determines the migration paths for the agents before dispatching them in the sensor network. The main limitations with such schemes are that they need global network topology information for deriving the migration paths of the agents, which incurs additional communication overhead, since each node has a very limited communication range. In addition, a centralized approach does not provide fault tolerant and adaptive migration paths. In order to solve such problems, we have proposed a distributed approach-based scheme for determining the migration path of the agents where at each hop, the local information is used to decide the migration of the agents. In addition, we also propose a local repair mechanism for dealing with the faulty nodes. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs better than existing schemes in the presence of faulty nodes within the networks, and manages to report the aggregated data to the sink faster.

This study is to test the influence of stock option granting information on the firm's performance. The important issue in stock option is that agent cost is the important determinant factor for the long term performance. The agent cost arises between the manager and shareholders. So many study are concentrated in diminishing the agent cost, and develop some substitute tools to measure the agent cost. The event study about stock option analyzes returns around event date at a time. Event study provides estimation periods and cumulative returns. Announcements about stock option are generally associated with positive abnormal returns in short term period, but not showing positive effect in long term period. It is important to investigate the responses of stocks to new information contained in the announcements of stock option. Therefore it is important to study the long term performance in the case of stock option. The event time portfolio approach exists the CAR model, BHAR model and WR model. And the calendar time portfolio approach has the 3 factor model, 4 factor model, CTAR model, and RATS model. This study is forced to develop and arrange two approach method in evaluating the performance, the event time portfolio approach and calendar time portfolio approach.

In this thesis, we propose an Intelligent Agent based on CORBA technology which can exchange and share data under distributed computing environment using Agent Communication Language(ACL), Recently, due to the rapid development of network technology, the need for the database management appeared. So representative standard, CORBA have been applied and used under distributed environment. Agent applications are being developed for various fields such as electronic commerce, user interface, information retrieval. When a user searches goods, he navigates several servers on different platform until he finds desired goods. The Intelligent Agent presented in this thesis, does these tedious navigations on behalf of the user through communication between different platform.

Herein we investigated the effect of the conductive agent on the electrochemical performance of the SiOx anode. SiOx anodes have a relatively low volume expansion (~160%) compared to Pure-silicon, but have a problem in that they have a poor electrical conductivity characteristic. In this study, physical and electrochemical measurements were performed using two 0-dimensional amorphous carbon conductive agents with different crystallinity and surface area. The crystal structure of the conductive agents and the local graphitization degree were analyzed through XRD and Raman, and the surface area of the particles was observed through BET. In addition, the electrical performance according to the graphitization degree of the conductive agents was confirmed through a 4-point probe. As a result of the electrochemical cycle and rate performance, it was confirmed that the performance of SiOx using a conductive agent having a low graphitization degree and a high surface area was improved. The results in this study suggest that the graphitization degree and surface area of the amorphous carbon conductive agent may play an important role in the SiOx electrode.

Recently, robotic automation in clinical laboratory becomes of keen interest as a fusion of bio and robotic technology. In this paper, we present a new robotic platform for clinical tests suitable for small or medium sized laboratories using mobile robots. The mobile robot called Mobile Agent is designed as transfer system of blood samples, reagents, microplates, and any instruments. Also, the developed mobile agent can perform diverse tests simultaneously based on its cooperative and distributed ability. The driving circuits for the mobile agent are embedded in the robot, and each mobile agent communicates with other agents by using Bluetooth communication. The RFID system is used to recognize patient information. Also, the magnetic hall sensor is embedded to remove and compensate the cumulated error of locomotion at the bottom of mobile agent. The proposed mobile agent can be easily used for various applications because it is designed to be compatible with general software development tools. The Mobile agents are manufactured, and feasibility of the robot and localization of the agents using magnetic hall sensor are validated by preliminary experiments.

Interaction builds up among agents in order to accomplish their goals. Argumentation is important for agent negotiation and interaction. In this paper, we discuss about the framework for multi-agent argumentation and the way multi-agents co-operates between each other. We identify aspects of classical argumentation theory that are suitable and useful for artificial agents.

Antistatic property and crystallization behavior of antistatic poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were studied by feeding antistatic agents into polycondensation reactor. Glass transition and melting temperature of antistatic PET were decreased by poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) component of antistatic agent. The crystallization rate of antistatic PET was inhibited by decreasing crystallization temperature. Thermal properties and crystallization behavior was affected POAG content of antistatic agent rather than sodium alkylsulfonate of it. The main antistatic component of antistatic agent was POAG. The main role of sodium alkylsulfonate was increasing melt viscosity of antistatic poly(ethylene terephalate) polymer.

현재 국내 배전자동화 시스템의 고장구간을 최소한으로 하는 불필요 정전구간 복구시스템은 고장발생 시 중앙에서 고장구간을 판단하고 Fuzzy Rule을 이용한 복구해를 통하여 계통의 Device들을 운영자가 직접 제어하는 방식이다. 이러한 방식은 원격으로 제어가 가능하며 운영자가 직접 상황에 따라 적절한 판단을 하여 신뢰성이 크다는 장점이 있지만, 운영자의 실수에 의해서 계통에 문제가 발생할 가능성도 있고, 정전복구시간 면에서 볼 때 오퍼레이터의 실수에 의해 생기는 복구지연시간은 소비자들에게는 경제적 손실 및 불편을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 운영자의 실수를 미연에 방지하고 정전복구 시간 또한 가급적 줄일 수 있는 방안을 마련하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 Multi-Agent 기반의 분산형 정전복구 시스템은 중앙의 제어를 통하지 않고 계통 내의 Device들이 Agent 개념의 지능을 가지고 상호 정보교환을 통하여 고장구간을 판단하고 정전을 복구하는 시스템으로 현재 배전자동화 시스템의 복구시간을 1분 이내로 단축시킬 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다. 간단한 배전계통을 구성하고 전력계통의 현재 통신망중 유/무선의 대표적인 LAN 및 CDMA 통신을 이용한 사례연구를 통해 제안한 시스템에서의 정전구간 1분 이내의 복구시간을 입증하였다.
