The rapid growth and spread of the World Wide Web has made it possible to easily access a variety of useful information. It is, however, very difficult to retrieve, manage, and use the desired information in web. Various kinds of systems such as Search engines, MetaSearch engines, Spiders, Softbots, Intelligent Agents or Web Agents have been developed by a large number of researchers and companies. Those systems as intelligent agent are employed to avoid the overload of information. To efficiently improve the Software Agents, it is necessary to represent and classify the retrieved data. And to improve performance of the Intelligent Agents to create the classification, it is offered how to evaluate the propriety with other information retrieved from the Web and to recommend to the user the most suitable information.

To improve the reusability and interoperability of GIS components, we propose the registration/retrieval agents, which can search the locating of users' frequently used components in not only the GIS domain but also other spatial information technologies such as GPS, ITS, RS and FM. The registration/retrieval agents increase the reusability through the GIS component based development under distributed GIS components environment and enables the rapid setting of application on the web. Moreover, users can understand easily the information of GIS component and have the effective investment, timeliness and reliability while they have less maintenance effort by agent. In order to design and implement this system on web, HTML and ASP (Active Serve Page), and JAVA were used. In addition, the performance of this system was verified through comparing others, which are similar to.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is applied to develop a web based monitoring system for manufacturing processes. SNMP agents in manufacturing facilities collects monitoring data from machine controllers and send them to a web-server to be stored in a database by an SNMP managing agent. Clients can access these data using any web-browser. This study developed these agents and MIB (Management Information Base), a protocol to represent the status of machines, that can be used appropriately to monitor manufacturing processes.

We proposed a conceptual design of the web-based agent model for global supply chain management(GSCM), where agents representing autonomous operational units, such as suppliers, factories, distribution center and customers, cooperate and are coordinated through the information exchange. The agent model assumed the hierarchical federated system. In the federated system, the agents of the same region are grouped and linked to the region-specific facilitator only through which communication between agents is allowed. The facilitator is responsible for monitoring and controlling the conversations consisting of the message flows across the agents. A web-based user presentation was also designed so that human users could involve in collaborative settings into the GSCM multi-agent system. In the conversation protocols which allow for complex coordinated behavior among agents, the KQML was extended to represent the messages. A GSCM scenario where the supply chain is formed upon customer order and supply decision is made was used to demonstrate the dynamics of the conversation protocols.

In this study, I've suggested how to improve the function of web-agents to find out the web-document users prefer. Web-agents employ TFIDF, which considers all the worked used in a document as equal in improtance to find out users' preferences. Web-documents like HTML, however, make visual differences by using different sizes of letters and highlighting them based on importance of words. In this study, I've attempted to improve the functions of the web-agents by differentiating the weight of each worked in accordance with the visual importance of each paragraph. To enhance functions, I've suggested how to make a profile from each paragraph to be consolidated later. As to suggested algorithms, I've tested their effects by comparing the established TFIDF algorithm with the function which helps users find documents they prefer.

The formation of a supply chain should be approached with distributive viewpoint considering the dynamic nature of ordering environments. The purpose of this paper is to design a semantic web to support agent negotiation forming supply chains. With the view of a supply chain as composed of competitive agents which represent each member of supply chains with a local goal, a supply chain is formed through negotiation of price, due date choosing partners to contract. In the development of a negotiation method, we employ ontology and rules which are the basic techniques of the semantic web for supporting automated negotiations. Especially, a framework for a negotiation process is suggested and domain, processes and rules ontology are designed interrelatedly. With this modeling, a possibility of the semantic web based agent negotiation is suggested.

The purpose of the paper is communication between multi-agents for student's learning at web based collaborative learning. First, this study investigated the whole contents and characteristics of an agent system and discussed KQML, communication language between multi-agents. Also, we suggested architecture of an agent based system for collaborative learning and interaction method between agents using KQML. We design어 and implemented collaborative learning system using Java programming language, and we also demonstrate the efficiency of collaborative learning system by communication between multi-agents through experiments.

In this study, we propose a methodology of mating it easy to integrate the heterogeneous and distributed information of e-Business environments with the semantic web components , knowledge representation, ontology and agents. It is based on a collaborative interoperable environment, which should be constructed by meta-modeling and employing agents , and the syntactic/semantic integration. We adopt OWL(Web Ontology Language) to specify ontology in a layered architecture for each agent to use, which is based on the IRDS (Information Resource Dictionary Standard) framework. And we give an illustrative example using the terms from PSL(Process Specification Language)-ontology. By defining, managing and sharing resources and business-processes on the proposed framework, it could be possible to get rid of the cause of redundancy and inconsistency.

For the past ten years, the goal of ubiquitous computing research has been the establishment of a new technology system with the aim 'Anytime, Anywhere, and Any form'. The needs for agent technology innovations such as ontology-based structure, ontology-based agent communication language, and multi-agents frameworks have been identified. This paper proposes a noble multi-agents architecture for ubiquitous systems. We suggest four major steps in the interaction between human and agents which enable ubiquitous agents to process by themselves to provide adaptive service to meet human's needs. First, we propose a semantic web technology to represent the association between information resources more explicitly Second, we construct a semantic ontology so that agents can recognize web contents.'Third, we propose a method to communicate between agents using OWL ontologies. Finally, we suggest a multi-agents structure based on the JADE of FIPA to analyze messages and get information. The semantic multi-agents framework proposed in this paper infers semantic situations using semantic web technology based on ontologies. A service provided is inferred differently according to user state because the multi-agents communicate by using OWL ontology language. Therefore, our system better infers context information than other without ontologies.

Our study is focused on a multi-agent system which provides the efficient teleconferencing facility with the help of the intelligent agents who allow the participants to minimize the effort to call meeting. Our system has multi-agent architecture and use the KQML to communicate among agents. Communicating through the KQML allows us to overcome the heterogeneity when we add new agents into the system. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent structure for the teleconferencing system based on the web and describe in detail the now or the KQML messages among agents.
