Development of a Multiagent Platform on Hetrogeneous golbal Networks

本研究计画的目的是开发一个在全球资讯网路上建构多智能体系统的平台，并利用此平台进行实际应用的实验。研究领域包括支持Agent之间信息共享的“知识共享”和支持Agent之间通信并将一部分任务分配给每个Agent的“组织计算”。在前面的研究中，我们提出了本体论的知识共享代理。然后，我们开发了当地的信息系统，在京坂独特的使用工具包，称为知识社区，以确定旅行计划。在后一项研究中，我们通过在工作站上开发桌面会议系统来研究代理和人类之间的协议。我们还提出了多智能体系统的协议描述语言。

The aim of this research project is to develop a platform for constructing multiagent systems on global information networks and to experiment practical applications using the platform. The research area consists of "knowledge sharing" that supports information sharing among agents and "organizational computing" that supports communications among agents and alloting a portion of tasks to each agent. In the former research, we proposed the ontology for sharing knowledge among agents. We then developed the local information systems in Keihanna distinct using the toolkits called Knowledgeable Community for advisering travel plans. In the latter research, we investigated the protocol among agents and humans through developing desktop conferencing systems on workstations. We also proposed the protocol description laguage for multiagent systems.
