As the internet environment has been rapidly changed, the scale of internet network that needs to be managed has been magnified. In this way, the recognition for the importance of security became extensive, and numerous security systems for the protection of internal information were introduced. But decentralized security systems because of there use of different user interfaces undergo difficulties in effective security management as well as prompt coping when an obstacle happens causing a corpulence of in the security management part. In this paper, I propose an integrated security management system which can grasp the situation of each system and manage every system in the center so that we can consistently and integrally manage every system. Integrated security management system with multi agents has the advantages of prompt coping with obstacles, and the minimization of weaknesses that different security solutions have, and of consistent control and management for decentralized security systems.

Mobile agent is one of the promising ways of overcoming network load and latency. It is also a new software paradigm including those concepts of client/server, applet/servelet, and code-on-demand. In this paper, a new mobile agent concept with flexible replay scheme is proposed, which can deal with embarrassing situation when replying results should be accomplished in various distributed applications. For example, they are 1) a burden of bulky result, 2) a need of different replay scheme dependent on work type, 3) connection failure to the target node, and 4) a need of fast migration to next node to keep the itinerary. Regarding the source node, there may be another situation that it wants to be aware of whether its wi가 is completed or not. Three kinds of reply schemes are proposed for dealing flexibly with such situations. They are based on priority reply list where nodes to be replied are stored according to their priorities. An experimental supply chain management model using the proposed reply schemes is designed and implemented. It is one of good distributed applications appropriate for our reply schemes, because it requires different reply schemes according to work types and it is important to gather required information in time.

In this paper, we discuss a service to give alarm in the case of emergency for the old and the weak by human behavior recognition in Intelligent Space. Our Intelligent Space consists of mobile robots, sensors and agents. And these components are connected to network framework. Agent analyzes data acquired from networked sensors and determines task of robots and a space to provide a service for humans. In our emergency alarm service, human behavior recognition service module analyzes accelerometer data obtained from body-attached human behavior sensing platform, and classifies into four basic human behavior such as walking, running, sitting and falling-down. For the old and the weak, falling-down behavior may bring about dangerous situations. On such an occasion, agent executes emergency alarm service immediately. And then a selected mobile robot approaches fallen person and sends images of the person to guardians. In this paper, we set up a scenario to verify the emergency alarm service in Intelligent Space, and show feasibility of the service from our simulation experiments.

Grid technology requires use of geographically distributed resources from multiple domains. Resource monitoring services or tools consisting sensors or agents will run on many systems to find static resource information (such as architecture vendor, OS name and version, MIPS rate, memory size, CPU capacity, disk size, and NIC information) and dynamic resource information (CPU usage, network usage(bandwidth, latency), memory usage, etc.). Thus monitoring itself may cause system overhead. This paper proposes the optimal monitoring interval to reduce the cost of monitoring services and the dynamic monitoring interval to measure monitoring events accurately. By employing two features, we find out unnecessary system overhead is significantly reduced and accuracy of events is still acquired.

The communication and collaboration of mobile agents are efficient in doing information processing in the Internet. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient communication mechanism that support to inter-agent communications and collaborations. For the remark mentioned above, a mobile agent system provides an indirect meeting mechanism as well as an extended information pool, which has an effect on decreasing network bandwidth. In addition, some proposed communication methods can support to message multicasting so that those are effectively adapted for a model of group agent. Finally, the proposed mechanism is implemented and analyzed in the MAS, a mobile agent system model developed by the Java language.

Teleoperation is defined with a master device that gives control command and a slave robot in a remote site. In this field, it is common that a human operator executes and experiences teleoperation with a virtual slave, and preliminary learns dynamic characteristic and network environment from both agents. Generally, a virtual slave has neglected forward dynamics and its kinematic model has been implemented in computer graphics. This makes a operator to experience actual feelings. This paper proposes a dynamic teleoperation model in which a robotic forward model is applied. Also, a novel compensation method is proposed to reduce the numerical error problems in forward dynamics caused by low control sampling rate. Finally, its results will be compared to the teleoperation in an actual environment.

In this paper, we present a new method to calculate reinforcement value in QoS routing algorithm targeted for real-time applications based on Ant algorithm to efficiently and effectively reinforce ant-like mobile agents to find the best route toward destination in a network regarding necessary QoS metrics. Simulation results show that the proposed method realizes QoS routing more efficiently and more adaptively than those of the existing method thereby providing better solutions for the best route selection for real-time application that has high priority on delay jitter and bandwidth.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza virus are the most significant pathogens causing respiratory tract diseases. Composite vaccines are useful in reducing the number of vaccination and confer protection against multiple infectious agents. In this study, we generated fusion of RSV G protein core fragment (amino acid residues 131 to 230) and influenza HA1 globular head domain (amino acid residues 62 to 284) as a dual vaccine candidate. This fusion protein, Gcf-HA1, was bacterially expressed, purified by metal resin affinity chromatography, and refolded in PBS. BALB/c mice were intranasally immunized with Gcf-HA1 in combination with a mucosal adjuvant, cholera toxin (CT). Both serum IgG and mucosal IgA responses specific to Gcf and HA1 were significantly increased in Gcf-HA1/CT-vaccinated mice. To determine the protective efficacy of Gcf-HA1/CT vaccine, immunized mice were challenged with RSV (A2 strain) or influenza virus (A/PR/8/34). Neither detectable viral replication nor pathology was observed in the lungs of the immune mice. These results demonstrate that immunity induced by intranasal Gcf-HA1/CT immunization confers complete protection against both RSV and homologous influenza virus infection, suggesting our Gcf-HA1 vaccine candidate could be further developed as a dual subunit vaccine against RSV and influenza virus.

In this paper, a communication module is proposed to be applied to communication between over current relay (OCR) agents in multi agent protection system. A multi agent system can achieve a global goal beyond the ability of each individual agent by working together, in which it is the prerequisite for each agent to be able to exchange or share information or processing status with other agent. The proposed communication module is purposed to enable not only each agent to bring about its own goal, but also the whole protective system to provide much improved coordinated protection. It is applied to a self adaptive protection system for a distribution network using multi agent concept to show its effectiveness.

Heme oxygenase (HO), the rate limiting enzyme in the breakdown of heme into carbon monoxide (CO), iron and bilirubin, has recently received overwhelming research attention. To date three mammalian HO isozymes have been identified, and the only inducible form is HO-1 while HO-2 and HO-3 are constitutively expressed. Advances in unveiling signal transduction network indicate that a battery of redox-sensitive transcription factors, such as activator protein-1 (AP-1), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$) and nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), and their upstream kinases including mitogen-activated protein kinases play an important regulatory role in HO-1 gene induction. The products of the HO-catalyzed reaction, particularly CO and biliverdin/bilirubin have been shown to exert protective effects in several organs against oxidative and other noxious stimuli. In this context, it is interesting to note that induction of HO-1 expression contributes to protection against liver damage induced by several chemical compounds such as acetaminophen, carbon tetrachloride and heavy metals, suggesting HO-1 induction as an important cellular endeavor for hepatoprotection. The focus of this review is on the significance of targeted induction of HO-1 as a potential therapeutic strategy to protect against chemically-induced liver injury as well as hepatocarcinogenesis.
