IDEAL: Interactive design environment for agent system with learning mechanism

The agent-oriented computing is a technique for generating the agent who operates autonomously according to the behavior knowledge. Moreover, agent can have the characteristic called “Learning” skill. More efficient operation of agents can be expected by realizing “Learning” skill. In this research, our aim is to support agent designer who designs and develops the intelligent agent system equipped with “Learning” skill. We propose interactive design environment for agent system with learning mechanism using repository-based agent framework called DASH framework. Proposed framework enables agent designer to design and implement the learning agents without highly expertise, therefore we can reduce the designer´s burden. In this paper, we explain the DASH framework, Q-learning, Profit Sharing and proposed design environment. Moreover we show the effectiveness of the proposal method through the some experiments.
