  1. Intelligent Software Agent Technology Dr. Thomas E. Potok Collaborative Technologies Group Leader Computer Science and Mathematics Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory

  2. AGENTS Internet Telephone Face to Face Agent Technology Trend Tim Berners-Lee – “The Semantic Web… will open up the knowledge and workings of humankind to meaningful analysis by software agents, providing a new class of tools by which we can live, work and learn together” “The Semantic Web” Scientific American 5/2001

  3. Successful Projects VIPAR Knowledge Discovery • We have extensive expertise in agent development • Began working with agent technologies in 1980s Supply Chain Management Agent System Manufacturing Emulation Agent System Collaborative Decision Support System Neural Nets for Recovery Boiler Control Neural Nets for Bankruptcy Prediction Neural Nets for Spring-back Prediction Collaborative Design System Neural Nets for Resistance. Spot Welding Neural Nets for Material Mix Optimization Genetic Algorithms for Chemical Synthesis • Over 10 successful projects within the last 5 years • Collaborations with leading agent experts Knowledge-based Systems - Manufacturing Advisors Knowledge-based Systems for Constructability Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments Knowledge-based Computer Systems Calibration 1985 1990 1995 2000

  4. 2001 Papers

  5. 2001 DOE Main Proposals

  6. Simple Agent Example Agent, find me the book “War and Peace,” and I need it tomorrow Dedicated Agents Amazon 2 Days $18.50 Barnes and Nobel 1 Day $21.75 B. Dalton 1 Day $20.25 Agent Communities Library 1 Day Free Does the agent understand buying books? Form a plan to buy the book eBay 1 Day $12.50 Execute the plan

  7. Use of Intelligent Agents at US Pacific Command VIPAR

  8. USPACOM Traditional Approach • Analysts Search 20-30 papers a day • Manually find the articles on internet • Manually organizing the articles Unorganized Newspaper Articles Analysts Organized Results Inside China NEA Russia Today SEA Jakarta Post Oceania

  9. New Intelligent Agent Approach Intelligent Agent Inside China Analysts Economy Russia Today Military Jakarta Post Political Retrieval Agents Vector Perturbation Clustering “Knowledge Bins”

  10. VIPAR Architecture Whiteboard Agent Text Analysis Agent Cluster Agent Download Agent Download Agent Download Agent Download Agent … Download Agent

  11. D1 D2 D3 Clustering: A Simple Example 1. Original and Parsed Documents 2. Terms Dictionary 3. Vector Space Model 4. Document Similarity 6. Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Agglomerative Divisive 8 1 2 3 4 6 7 5. Euclidean Distance 7. Phylips tree representation

  12. VIPAR Example “Nuclear Weapons” Search - 9/21/2000 • Wen Ho Lee Spends First Day Savoring Home Delights • Lee Case Points up Scientists' Attitude on Security • India and Pakistan: Troubled relations • U.S. China Trade Vote Milestone on Rocky Road • Troops die in Kashmir clashes • Clinton Concerned Over Lee Case - Reno On Defensive • IAEA Supports Putin Nuclear Power Initiative • China Rejects Moves to Tighten Regulation of Nuclear Materials • Clinton Calls For Review Of Lee Secrets Case • Asian-Americans Demand White House Action on Lee

  13. Manual Knowledge Management “Business as Usual” • Wen Ho Lee • Wen Ho Lee Spends First Day Savoring Home Delights • Clinton Calls For Review Of Lee Secrets Case • Clinton Concerned Over Lee Case - Reno On Defensive • Asian-Americans Demand White House Action on Lee • Lee Case Points up Scientists' Attitude on Security • India and Pakistan • India and Pakistan: Troubled relations • Troops die in Kashmir clashes • IAEA Meeting • IAEA Supports Putin Nuclear Power Initiative • China Rejects Moves to Tighten Regulation of Nuclear Materials • U.S. China Trade • U.S. China Trade Vote Milestone on Rocky Road

  14. VIPAR Knowledge Management Same result, easier to “see” 3 2 • Wen Ho Lee • Wen Ho Lee Spends First Day Savoring Home Delights • Clinton Calls For Review Of Lee Secrets Case • Clinton Concerned Over Lee Case - Reno On Defensive • Asian-Americans Demand White House Action on Lee • Lee Case Points up Scientists' Attitude on Security • India and Pakistan • India and Pakistan: Troubled relations • Troops die in Kashmir clashes • IAEA Meeting • IAEA Supports Putin Nuclear Power Initiative • China Rejects Moves to Tighten Regulation of Nuclear Materials • U.S. China Trade • U.S. China Trade Vote Milestone on Rocky Road 4 1 Wen Ho Lee 5 US China Trade India/Pakistan 6 IAEA Meeting 10 7 9 8

  15. VIPAR Knowledge Discovery Search on “Bin Laden” on 1/9/2001 • Yemen bomb suspects held • The Yemeni authorities say they have arrested several Islamic militants in connection with the bombing of a US warship in which 17 sailors died. • Discovered Articles • Attractive base for anti-West Islamists • For impoverished, underdeveloped Yemen, political violence is like a disease that won't go away. • Cohen seeks review of Cole probe • Defense Secretary William Cohen plans to order a new review to determine if commanders in the Gulf region should be held accountable … • US reopens Rome embassy • The United States has reopened its Rome embassy which was closed since Friday following a world-wide caution against possible threats. • Pakistan warns of Afghan exodus • 50,000 Afghans have arrived in Pakistan this year alone

  16. Endorsements • US Pacific Command’s CINC Admiral Blair • “A tremendously successful project” • “Software agents … lead to substantially improved analytical products.” • US Pacific Command’s Science and Technology Advisor • “hit a grand slam home run!” • “first time we've seen information discovery and knowledge management software working here at HQ USCINCPAC operationally.”

  17. VIPAR is only one of our projects VIPAR Knowledge Discovery • We have extensive expertise in agent development • Began working with agent technologies in 1980s Supply Chain Management Agent System Manufacturing Emulation Agent System Collaborative Decision Support System Neural Nets for Recovery Boiler Control Neural Nets for Bankruptcy Prediction Neural Nets for Spring-back Prediction Collaborative Design System Neural Nets for Resistance. Spot Welding Neural Nets for Material Mix Optimization Genetic Algorithms for Chemical Synthesis • Over 10 successful projects within the last 5 years • Collaborations with leading agent experts Knowledge-based Systems - Manufacturing Advisors Knowledge-based Systems for Constructability Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments Knowledge-based Computer Systems Calibration 1985 1990 1995 2000

  18. Summary • Intelligent agents are a significant future technology direction • We have a significant progression of deployed agent systems and research to our credit • We have ringing endorsements regarding the success of our systems and research • We look forward to the next step…
