近年來,服務導向計算已成為學術及業界新興的熱門研究方向,有別於傳統的物件導向計算,服務導向的觀念不僅爲軟體工程技術帶來了新的優勢也帶來了全新的思維。其中,利用代理人的特性所發展出來的服務將更具自主性、主動性、演化性、學習性,因此,以代理人服務為基礎所建置出的服務導向系統或軟體將更具智慧性及便利性。然而,由於代理人服務的自主性,在建置代理人服務導向系統時,組織的模型與代理人角色扮演之研究也逐漸的備受重視,近年來,利用人類組織學所發展出之多代理人組織的概念被導入來處理這些問題。在此研究計畫中,我們將利用多代理人組織的概念為基礎,達成以下三個目標: 1. 組織模型:我們將利用代理人、物件導向及組織學為基礎,提出一個組織模型方法,試圖利用此方法來模型角色間之權力關係、角色間之溝通及代理人扮演角色之規範。 2. 角色扮演機制:我們將利用組織間的關係為基礎,分類出組織間的關係,並藉由分析出這些關係來解決角色比對、代理人選擇及環境支援問題。 3. 組織模型與角色扮演機制之實做:基於物件導向程式語言,我們將實做出一個多代理人組織元件,利用此元件,具備有以組織概念為中心及具動態角色扮演機制之多代理人服務系統將可被實現。 Recently, the notion of service-oriented computing has attracted increasing attentions in the software development research area. The most popular service types are web service and agent service. Systems based on agent services suit for solving complex problems in an intelligent manner by using autonomous, pro-activity, learning or evolution techniques. In the extant approaches, the notion of organization is widely used to model open multi-agent systems in which agents collaborate to achieve the system objectives through role playing. In this proposal, we will focus our attention on the following aspects based on the concepts of organization theory: 1. Organization modeling: We will propose an organization model to specify the collaboration between roles along three dimensions: 1) a static view to depict the authority relations between roles; 2) a dynamic view to delineate the communications between roles; and 3) the norms to constrain roles played by agents. 2. Role binding mechanism: A role binding mechanism will be devised to deal with the following problems based on inter-organization relations: 1) to determine whether an agent is capable of playing a role; 2) to decide which agent is most trusted to play a role; and 3) to enable an agent to use the resources in a role. 3. Implementation of the organization model and role binding mechanism: We will develop an organization repository conforming to the proposed organization model and role binding mechanism. Eventually, a multi-agent organization system can be modeled, designed and implemented through the organization model and the repository. 研究期間:9908 ~ 10007
