This paper addresses a formation control problem for a phugoid model-based multi-agent system in discrete time by using a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model-based controller design technique. The concerned discrete-time model is obtained by Euler's method. A T-S fuzzy model is constructed through a feedback linearization. A fuzzy controller is then designed to stabilize the T-S fuzzy model. Design condition is presented in the linear matrix inequality format.

Complexity science is a new stage in the development of systems science that is the frontier areas of contemporary scientific development. Complexity science takes complex systems as the research object, which has attracted widespread attention from researchers in the fields of economy, control, management, and society. In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology and people's deepening understanding for the theory of complex systems, the systems are no longer an object with a single function, but the systems are composed of multiple individuals with autonomous capabilities through cooperative and cooperation, namely multi-agent system (MAS). Currently, MAS is one of the main models for studying such complex systems. The intelligent control is to break the traditional multi-agent fault-tolerant control (FTC) concept and produce a new type of compensation mechanism. In this paper, the applications of fault-tolerant control methods for MASs are presented, and a discussion is given about development and challenges in this field.

The organizations in the competitive business environment are under pressure of handling internal management processes as well as external supply chain issues. In addition, the paradigm of supply chain management (SCM) has been shifted from static to dynamic problems. For the efficient SCM, organizations should be a RTE (Real Time Enterprises) that views entire supply chains as a single entity. In this paper, the agent system that makes RTE and dynamic supply chains possible is developed. Then, the developed agent system is verified in the TAC SCM(Trading Agent Competition Supply Chain Management) experimental environment and a dashboard is also developed for monitoring management activities of supply chains. The contributions of this paper are as followings. First, unlike the previous agent systems, the suggested agent system in this paper provides autonomy and scalability using SOA. Second, this suggested model for dynamic environment can be applied for the development of software supporting a SCM.

A methacrylate monomer having phospholipid polar group and cell membrane structure is known as highly biocompatible. Based on these properties, new biocompatible multi-functional textile finishing agent was developed using phospolipid copolymer. 2-Methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPCE) was synthesized using 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-chloro-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane (COP) and triethylamine (TEA), and then polymerized to prepare MPCE copolymer by radical polymerization using azobisisobutyronitrile(AIBN). The structures of MPCE was characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR and will be evaluated as textile finishing agent in further study.

In SCM (supply chain management), companies are pursuing a new approach through which overall functions within the supply chain, ranging from material purchase to production, distribution, and sales are designed, planned, and managed in an integrated way. The core functions among them are production planning and distribution planning. As these problems are mutually related, they should be dealt with simultaneously in an integrated manner. SCM is large-scale and multi-stage problems. Also, its various kinds of internal or external factors can, at any time, dynamically bring a change to the existing plan or situation. Recently, many enterprises are moving toward an open architecture for integrating their activities with their suppliers, customers and other partners within the supply chain. Agent-based technology provides an effective approach in such environments. Multi-agent systems have been proven suitable to represent domains such as supply chain networks which involve interactions among manufacturing organization, their customers, suppliers, etc. with different individual goals and propriety information. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent system based on the genetic algorithm that make it possible to integrate the production and distribution planning on a real-time basis in SCM. The proposed genetic algorithm produced near optimal solution and we checked that there is a great difference in the results between integrated planning and non-integrated planning.

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.

The prototypical smart environment to support the context-aware interactions between user and ubiquitous campus environment based on multi-agent system paradigm is proposed in this paper. In this model, the dynamic Bayesian is investigated to solicit and organize agents to produce information and presentation assembly process in order to allocate the resources for an unseen task across multiple services in a dynamic environment. The user model is used to manage varying user constraints and user preferences to achieve system's goals.

인터넷의 발달로 전자 상거래는 오늘날 일상생활의 한 부분이 되었다. 그러나, 수많은 쇼핑몰들과 그 쇼핑몰들이 제공하는 다양한 제품들 속에서 소비자가 원하는 물건을 찾아내는 것은 점점 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 멀티에이전트 시스템을 이용해 공급망(Supply Chain)에서 구매자의 요구에 부합하는 제품을 제공할 수 있는 생산자를 보다 쉽게 연결시켜주는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 멀티 에이전트 기반 공급망에서 주로 사용되는 협동 전략인 Joint Intention Theory와 SharedPlan Theory, 이 논문에서 제안하는 신경망을 이용한 방법을 비교해, 신경망을 이용한 방법이 갖는 효율성을 알아보고, 신경망을 이용한 멀티에이전트 기반의 협등 모델을 제시하였다. 이 모델은 구매자가 제품을 선택할 때 사용하는 소비평가 기준의 가중치를 소비자로부터 받아들여 그 기준에 가장 부합하는 판매자를 신경망을 이용한 분류(classification)방법을 통해 찾아내고, 이렇게 선택된 생산자를 소비자에게 연결시켜준다.

This paper presents a consensus algorithm for uMAS (uncertain Multi-Agent Systems). Unlike previous results in which only nominal models for agents are considered, it is assumed that the uncertain agent model belongs to a known polytope set. In the middle of deriving the proposed algorithm, a convex set is found which includes all uncertainties in the problem using convexity of the polytope set. This set plays an important role in designing the consensus algorithm for uMAS. Based on the set, a consensus condition for uMAS is proposed and the corresponding consensus design problem is solved using LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality). Simulation result shows that the proposed consensus algorithm successfully leads to consensus of the state of uMAS.

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.
