본 논문은 배전계통을 운영함에 있어서 배전자동화 시스템의 가장 중요한 기능인 정전복구 기능에 대해서 현재의 중앙집중 방식에서 분산형으로 보다 효율적인 처리를 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 분산형으로 처리하기 위하여 단말장치들을 Intelligent 기능에 능동 자율학습 기능을 보완할 수 있는 Multi-Agent 기법을 알고리즘에 도입하였다. 기존의 agent 기법을 응용한 연구는 적용 대상이 불분명한데 반해 본 논문에서는 적용 대상도 분명하고 현재 계통에도 바로 적용이 가능한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 Multi-Agent 기반 분산형 정전복구 시스템의 약점이라 할 수 있는 통신망 보안에 대해서 위협사례들을 분석하고, 이 위협들에 대한 보안알고리즘 적용방안을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 알고리즘들을 PC 기반으로 예제계통을 꾸며 그 성능을 입증하였다.

In this paper, we implemented a FIPA-OS multi-agent framework bundle in OSGi Service Platform. FIPA-OS is an open agent platform for constructing FIPA compliant agent using mandatory components that required by all FIPA-OS agents to execution and optional components that FIPA-OS agent car optionally use. The platform supports communication between multiple agents and communication language which conforms to the FIPA standards. FIPA-OS framework bundle is composed of DE(Directory Facilitator), AMS(Agent Management System), ACC(Agent Communication Channel) and MTS(Message Transport System) bundle. These bundles installed in the OSGi service platform and their life cycle can be managed by the framework.

With the paradigm shifting from the principal of manufacturing efficiency to business globalism and rapid adaptation to its environments, more and more enterprises are being virtually organized as manufacturing network of different units in web. The formation of these enterprise called as Virtual Enterprise(VE) is becoming a growing trend as enterprises concentrating on core competence and economic benefit. 13us paper proposes multi-agent based task assignment system for VE, which attempts to address the selection of individually managed partners and the task assignment to them A case example is presented to illustrate how the proposed system can assign the task to partners.

Recently, community computing has been proposed for group formation and group decision-making. However, legacy community computing systems do not support group need identification for ad hoc group formation, which would be one of key features of ubiquitous decision support systems and services. Hence, this paper aims to provide a multi-agent based methodology to enable nomadic community computing which supports ad hoc need identification and group formation. Focusing on supporting group decision-making of relatively small sized multiple individual in a community, the methodology copes with the following three characteristics: (1) ad hoc group formation, (2) context-aware group need identification, and (3) using mobile devices working in- and out-doors. NAMA-US, an RFID-based prototype system, has been developed to show the feasibility of the idea proposed in this paper.

This paper proposes a new approach to rollback-recovery using multi-agent in distributed computing system. Previous rollback-recovery protocols are dependent on inherent communication and operating system, which causes a decline of computing performance in distributed computing system. By using multi-agent, we propose rollback-recovery protocol that is independent on operating system. We define three kinds of agent. One is a recovery agent that performs rollback-recovery protocol after a failure. Other is an information agent that constructs domain knowledge as a rule of fault tolerance and information during failure-free operation. The other is facilitator agent that controls the efficient communication between agents. Also we propose rollback-recovery protocol using multi-agent and simulated the proposed rollback-recovery protocol using JAVA and agent communication language in CORBA environment.

This paper studies the output consensus problem for a class of heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems under a fixed directed communication network. The dynamics, as well as its dimension, of each agent can widely differ from the others, but all the agents are assumed to have the same transfer matrix. In addition, only the system outputs are constrained to be delivered through the network. Under these conditions, we show that the output consensus is reached by a group of identical controllers, which is designed to achieve the state consensus for the homogeneous multi-agent system obtained from the minimal realization of the transfer matrix. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the proposed result.

The most important problems in the multi-agent system are to accomplish a gnat through the efficient coordination of several agents and to prevent collision with other agents. In this paper, we propose a new control strategy for succeeding the goal of a prey pursuit problem efficiently Our control method uses reinforcement learning to control the multi-agent system and consider the distance as well as the space relationship among the agents in the state space of the prey pursuit problem.

This study investigates the problem of leader-following consensus for multi-agent systems with output saturations. This study assumes that the agents are described as a neutrally stable system, and the leader agent generates the bounded trajectory within the saturation level. Then, the objective of the leader-following consensus is to track the trajectory of the leader by exchanging information with neighbors. To solve this problem, we propose an observer-based distributed consensus algorithm. Then, we provide a consensus analysis by applying the Lyapunov stability theorem and LaSalle's invariance principle. The result shows that the agents achieve the leader-following consensus in a global sense. Moreover, we can achieve the consensus by choosing any positive control gain. Finally, we perform a numerical simulation to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a plan-coordination architecture is proposed for multi-agent control in the fractal manufacturing system (FrMS). A fractal in FrMS is a set of distributed agents whose goal can be achieved through cooperation, coordination, and negotiation with other agents. Since each agent in the FrMS generates, achieves, and modifies its own plan fragments autonomously during the coordination process with other agents, it is necessary to develop a systematic methodology for the achievement of global plan in the manufacturing system. The heterarchical structure of the FrMS provides a compromised plan-coordination approach, it compromise a centralized plan-generation/execution (which mainly focuses on the maximization of throughput) with a distributed one (which focuses on the autonomy of each module and flexibility of the whole system). Plan-coordinators in lower level fractal independently generate plan fragments according to the global plan of higher level fractal, and plan-coordinators in higher level fractal mediate/coordinate the plan fragments to enhance the global performance of the system. This paper assumes that generation method of the plan fragments and the negotiation policy of the fractal is achieved by a simple process, and we mainly focuses on the information exchanging and distributed decision making process to coordinate the combinations of plan fragments within a limited exchange of information.
