In order to ensure second-order multi-agent systems (MAS) realizing consensus more quickly in a limited time, a new protocol is proposed. In this new protocol, the gradient algorithm of the overall cost function is introduced in the original protocol to enhance the connection between adjacent agents and improve the moving speed of each agent in the MAS. Utilizing Lyapunov stability theory, graph theory and homogeneity theory, sufficient conditions and detailed proof for achieving a finite-time consensus of the MAS are given. Finally, MAS with three following agents and one leading agent is simulated. Moreover, the simulation results indicated that this new protocol could make the system more stable, more robust and convergence faster when compared with other protocols.

In this paper, we propose a virtual action system based on information agents, We call the system the MultiHammer, MultiHammer can be used for studying and analyzing online actions. MuiltiHammer provides functions of implement-ing a meta online action site and an experiment environ-ment. We have been using MultiHammer as an experiment as an experiment environment for BiddinBot. BiddingBot aims at assisting users to bid simultaneously in multiple online auctions. In order to bid simultaneously in multiple online auctions. In order to analyze the behavior of BiddngBot, we need to pur-chase a lot of items. It is hard for us to prepare a lot of fund to show usability and advantage of BiddingBot. MultiHam-mer enables us to effectively analyze the behavior of BiddingBot. MultiHammer consists of three types of agents for information collecting data storing and auctioning. Agents for information wrappers. To make agent work as wrarp-pers, we heed to realize software modules for each online action site. Implementing these modules reguires a lot of time and patience. To address this problem, we designed a support mechanism for developing the modules. Agents for data storing record the data gathered by agents for informa-tion collecting. Agents for auctioning provide online services using data recorded by agents for data storing. By recording the activities in auction sites. MultiHammer can recreate any situation and trace auction for experimentation, Users can participate in virtual using the same information in real online auctions. Users also participate in real auc-tions via wrapper agents for information collecting

Workflow Management Systems(WFMSs) is a software system that supports that specification and execution of business processes. In this paper, we proposed Multi Agent Based Workflow Modeling System which was implemented by Java application. The proposed workflow modeling system is divided into four agents; Session, Organization, Relevant Data. Invoked Application. We adapted ICN(Information Control Net) to check workflow model syntax, And the proposed modeling system provide the function to import/export WPDL which was defined in WfMC.

On-line condition monitoring is a useful tool for maintaining and extending the longevity of power transformers. An intelligent diagnostic system is desirable for operational safety and reliability. Bringing these concepts together results in a powerful support tool for engineers, reducing the volume of data to deal with, and making the data more meaningful. This paper describes how a multi-agent system for diagnosing the cause of transformer partial discharge activity was coupled with a method of UHF partial discharge monitoring, creating an on-line condition monitoring system. The challenges presented by the on-site environment are discussed, along with the implications for the complete system.

Agents in Multi-Agent System; (MAS) should make use of a common Agent Communication Language (ACL) in order to negotiate with others, and conform to negotiation protocols thatare designed to reach agreements. Therefore, agents must have suitable architectures that could cover above requirements. In this paper, we define an instructive ACL and compare it with other ACLs such as Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) ACL and Knowledge Query Manipulation Language(KQML), In particular, we represent agents as logic programs with knowledge base and negotiation library. Finally, we show how the planner, which is in the negotiation library, provides the plan of actions and updates agent's knowledge base.

The Wireless Ad Hoc network is discussed as a core technology for ubiquitous computing, and the smart tag technology is currently being actively discussed as a part of the sensor network. Thus, considering its security may advance the realization of ubiquitous computing. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology using the smart tag technology as a part of the sensor network is currently in the limelight. In particular, when RFID is applied to a knowledge management system managing various data, data mobility and management convenience are ensured and automated knowledge service can be provided to users. Accordingly, this paper to proposed a secure scheme for mobility knowledge management systems using multi-agents differentiated from the existing knowledge management systems. Specifically, the proposed scheme designates user's authentication and privilege information in multi-agents and provides effective knowledge service through grouping based on user information. Moreover, even user's movement, the proposed scheme ensures service availability and provides continuous information through communication with multi-agent systems.

The current class scheduling has difficulties in reflecting students' preferences for the classes that they want to take and forecasting the demands of classes. Also, it is usually a repetitive and tedious work to allocate classes to limited time and cesourres Although many research studios in task allocation and meeting scheduling intend to solve similar problems, they have limitations to be directly applied to the class-scheduling problem. In this paper. a class scheduling system using multi agents-based negotiation is suggested. This system consists of student agents, professor agents and negotiation agents each agent arts in accordance with its respective human user's preference and performs the repetitive and tedious process instead of the user The suggested system utilizes negotiation cost concept to derive coalition in the agent's negotiation. The negotiation cost is derived from users' bidding prices on classes, where each biding price represents a user's preference on a selected class. The experiments were performed to verify the negotiation model in the scheduling system. The result of the experiment showed that it could produce a feasible scheduling solution minimizing the negotiation cost and reflecting the users' performance. The performance of the experiments was evaluated by a class success ratio.

For disaster exploration and surveillance application, this paper aims to present a novel application of a multi-robot agent based on WSN and to evaluate a multi-hop communication caused by the robotics correspondingly, which are used in the uncertain and unknown subterranean tunnel. A Primary-Scout Multi-Robot System (PS-MRS) was proposed. A chain topology in a subterranean environment was implemented using a trimmed ZigBee2006 protocol stack to build the multi-hop communication network. The ZigBee IC-CC2530 modular circuit was adapted by mounting it on the PS-MRS. A physical experiment based on the strategy of PS-MRS was used in this paper to evaluate the efficiency of multi-hop communication and to realize the delivery of data packets in an unknown and uncertain underground laboratory environment.

The service discovery method is an important technology finding and offering users' desirable services in smart meeting spaces. Extensive researches of the service discovery methods are achieved: SSDP(simple service discovery protocol) of UPnP(universal plug & play) and so on. However, there are several limitations to satisfy the requirements of service discovery in smart meeting spaces. In this paper, the requirements of service discovery in smart meeting spaces are investigated and the service discovery method based on multi-agent system is proposed in the practical aspect. Additionally, we explore the possibilities of the proposed approach by implementing a couple of services belonging to the smart meeting spaces.

This paper addresses a state consensus controller design technique of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model-based multi-agent systems in a continuous-time domain. We express the interconnection topology among the agents through graph theory. The design condition is represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
