This paper presents a personalized web agent that constructs user profile which consists of user preferences on the web and recommends his/her relevant information to the user. The personalized web agent consists of monitor agent, user profile construction agent, and user profile refinement agent. The monitor agent makes a user describe his/her preferences directly and it creates the database of preference document, finally performs several keyword extraction to increase the accuracy of the DB. The user profile construction agent transforms the extracted keywords into user profile that could be confirmed and edited by the user. and the refinement agent refines user profile by recursively learning and processing user feedback. In this paper, we describe the several keyword weighting and inductive learning techniques in detail. Finally, we describe the adaptive web retrieval and push agent that perform adaptive services to the user.

This paper is about the research of the User Agent implementation under wireless embedded environment, using SIP which is one of protocol components construct the VoIP system. The User Agent is made of the User Agent configuration block, the device thread block to control devices and the SIP stack block to process SIP messages. The device thread consists of the RTP thread and the sound lard device processing block. Futhermore, the SIP stack consist of the worker thread to process proxy events, the SIP transceiver and SIP thread to transfer and receive SIP messages. The H/W platform is a board included the Intel's XScale PXA255 processor, flash memory, SDRAM, Audio CODEC module and wireless LAN threough PCMCIA socket, furthermore a microphone and headphone is used by the audio 1/0. The system has embedded linux kernel 2.4.19. For embedded environment, the function of User Agent and SIP method is diminished. Finally, the resource of system could be reduced about $12.9\%$, compared to overall system resource, by minimizing peripherals control and excepting TCP.

This paper introduces an agent system that assists in user's work on the Internet. First, the agent receives requests from the user or other agents. Since there are various kinds of requests, it is difficult to describe a completes set of request -handling rules in advance. Therefore, the agent makes a plan referring to old cases. The agent executes the plane which is a sequence of basic operation. If the agent fails to execute basic operation or to create a plan. then it makes a new plan by interacting with the user or other agent. Finally the agent stores this new case with user's evaluation score into the case base.

This paper proposes a personal information protection model that allows a user to regulate his or her own personal information and privacy protection policies to receive services provided by a service provider without having to reveal personal information in a way that the user is opposed to. When the user needs to receive a service that requires personal information, the user will only reveal personal information that they find acceptable and for uses that they agree with. Users receive desired services from the service provider only when there is agreement between the user's and the service provider's security policies. Moreover, the proposed model utilizes a mobile agent that is transmitted from the user's personal space, providing the user with complete control over their privacy protection. In addition, the mobile agent is itself a self-destructing program that eliminates the possibility of personal information being leaked. The mobile agent described in this paper allows users to truly control access to their personal information.

To design a user-adaptive web surfing system, we nay take the approach to divide the whole process into three phases; collecting user data, processing the data to construct and improve the user profile, and adapting to the user by applying the user profile. We have designed three software agents. Each privately works in each phase and they collaboratively support adaptive web surfing. They are IIA(Interactive Interface Agent), UPA(User Profile Agent), and ANA(Autonomous Navigation Agent). IIA provides the user interface, which collects data and performs mechanical navigation support. UPA processes the collected user data to build and update the user profile while user is web-surfing. ANA provides an autonomous navigation mode in which it automatically recommends web pages that are selected based on the user profile. The proposed approach and design method, through extensions and refinements, may be used to build a practical adaptive web surfing system.

The goal of this research has been to develop an adaptive user agent for web surfing. To achieve this goal, the research has concentrated on three issues: collection of user data, construction and improvement of user profile, and adaptation by applying the user profile. The main outcome from the research is a prototype system that provides the functional definition and componential design scheme for an adaptive user agent for the web environment. Internally, the system achieves its operational goal from the cooperation of two independent agents. They are IIA (Interactive Interface Agent) and UPA (User Profiling Agent). As a tool for providing a user-friendly interface environment, the IIA employs the Keyword Index, which is a list of index terms of a webpage as well as a keyword menu for subsequent queries, and the Suggest Link, which is a hierarchical list of URLs showing the past browsing procedure of the user. The UPA reflects in the User Profile, both the static and the dynamic information obtained from the user's browsing behavior. In particular, a user's interests are represented in the form of Interest Vectors which, based on the similarity of the vectors, is subject to update and creation, thus dynamically profiling the user's ever-shifting interests.

By spread of Internet, we become to use several of communication such as email, ICQ, VoIP etc. But as become convenient to use, user must be aware of variety of information regarding the media and partner user. The forecast is that this problem grows larger and larger as new media are brought in the expanding communications network. In this research, we suggest an agent MIA (Media Integration Agent) that manages the information instead of user. The MIA is an agent that obtains situation of user, and dynamically exchanged addresses and tendency of using medias in form of vCard. By use of this, user can choose better communication media. Accordingly seamless communication environment that user doesn't have to be aware of various information is formed.

The rapid increase of E-commerce market requires a solution to assist the buyer to find his or her interested items. The intelligent agent model is one of the approaches to help the buyers in purchasing items in outline market. In this paper, the user query processing model in the item recommendation agent is proposed. In the proposed model, the retrieval result is affected by the automatically generated queries from user preference information as well as the queries explicitly given by user. Therefore, the proposed model can provide the customized search results to each user.

Nowadays, the occurrence of Malware is steadily increasing. The Malware is also becoming more intelligent, advanced and changing into various types. With the development of the information industry, the economic and monetary value of the information is going up and the damage due to the leaked information by the Malware is also increasing. This paper investigates the general usage of the User Agent in the HTTP Header, studies the Malware production techniques by transformation of the User-Agent information and suggests the technical and political counterplan against them.

The user-centric broadcasting environment includes the agent system and personalized broadcasting services for user-adaptive TV watching. In this paper, we propose broadcasting environment consisting of personalized broadcasting services and a multi-agent broadcasting system for the services. The proposed system employs the intelligent agent technology of the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) as well as metadata technology of MPEG-7 and TV-Anytime Forum (TVAF). To verify the usefulness of the proposed environment, we implemented a test-bed and demonstrated the proposed agent system with three services including intelligent user-information management service, information mobility service, and content retrieval service.
