Study And Realize On The Travel E-business System Based On Multi-Agent System

Intelligent agents are a new paradigm for developing software applications. More than this, agent-based computing has been hailed as 'the next significant breakthrough in software development', and 'the new revolution in software' Currently, agents are the focus of intense interest on the part of many sub-fields of computer science and artificial intelligence. Agents are being used in an increasingly wide variety of applications, ranging from comparatively small systems such as email filters to large, open, complex, mission critical systems such as air traffic control or E-business system. Nowdays, e-business is widely used in different fields. But currently, commerce is almost entirely driven by human interactions; humans decide when to buy goods, how much they are willing to pay, and so on. But in principle, there is no reason why some commerce cannot be automated. By this, we mean that some commercial decision making can be placed in the hands of agents.Agent-Oriented Software Engineering is the one of the most recent contributions to the field of Software Engineering. It has several benefits compared to existing development approaches, in particular the ability to let agents represent high-level abstractions of active entities in a software system. This paper based on the "Travel E-business Project for Wansheng distinct in Chongqing"and the structure of travel e-business system is designed in this paper. The main contents are as follows:1.The historical development of MAS and E-business is reviewed form theory and practice. Great emphasis is place on the problem in current E-business and the agent technology used in e-business field.2.The methodologies and technology of E-business are studied, and the historical development of MAS is reviewed from theory and practice as well. Then the thought of using Agent-oriented technology and MAS to construct E-business is proposed. Great emphasis is placed on research method of E-business based MAS.3.Agent-Oriented Software Engineering is being presented and every steps of the software engineering method are discussed. Then three key technologies are researched in this paper: the communication technology of mul-agent system, data store and the realize of repository and the model of studying users' interests.4.An actual agent-based system the Guide Sub-system is established. Then the three key technologies are realized for the building of the system. Finally Zeus Agent is introduced to build every agent in this system.Finally ,the dissertation concludes with a series of future E-business based on MAS.
