代理人程式為基礎的研討會管理系統

Abstract

代理人程式在過去的幾年中相當受到歡迎，特別是在分散式系統的建構，資訊擷取，重複性行為的自動化等應用有出色的表現。在這篇論文中我們陳述了一個建構在行動代理人程式的技術之上的研討會管理系統，此系統提供一個自動化的論文收集，論文發送與論文評論收集流程，整個流程的管理系統。這是一個行動代理人系統，它較先前會議論文處理的電子化流程擁有彈性化與更具效率等優點。同時我們也提出一套分析與設計行動代理人程式的方法。這篇論文是以研討會管理系統ACMS為例，依系統化的分析設計方法來製作出一套程式代理人為基礎的應用系統，証實此法的可行性。

Software agents have become very popular in the last several years. They have been successfully used in distributed application， information retrieval and automation of repetitive behavior. This thesis presents the design and implementation of a conference management system whose primary purpose is to support automated paper collection， paper dispatch and paper review. The system is based on mobile agent technology， which enables flexible and efficient electronic paper submissions and reviews. This thesis also describes a methodology that analyzes and designs an agent based application system. This thesis applies the methodology to construct the conference management system ACMS as an example.
