31 Mar 2003TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a system and methods for automatically installing and using media processing filters to extend the media functionality of system processes and validate trustworthiness of a filter prior to installing the filter on the system.
Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for automatically installing and using media processing filters to extend the media functionality of system processes. A system service is requested by the add-in filter to be installed on the system. The filter management service processes the request and installs the filters to be invoked later by other system processes such as device drivers, applications and acquisition software. The system processes use the filter management service to enumerate filters available on the system and select one or more of the filters to extend their media functionality. The filters are objects that may be used by multiple processes at any given time. Also, the filter management service can validate trustworthiness of a filter prior to installing the filter on the system. Additionally, the filter management service can be used to provide selected filters to be invoked from a process separate from the process requesting the filter for use. The installed filters may be searched and enumerated according to their associated categories.

TL;DR: This article introduces the agent architecture and illustrates its application in the telecommunication-network design, and describes how to assess the ontological heterogeneity in the domain, which problems the integration of constraint knowledge pose, and how to construct a shared ontology.
Abstract: KRAFT is an agent architecture for the integration of heterogeneous information systems. The focus in KRAFT is on the integration of knowledge in the form of constraints. In this article we describe the architecture from an ontological perspective. We start by introducing the agent architecture and illustrate its application in the telecommunication-network design. We then describe how we assess the ontological heterogeneity in the domain, which problems the integration of constraint knowledge pose, and how we construct a shared ontology. Also, we describe the mapping, functions that are used to translate information between the shared and the local ontologies. Finally, we look at the direction our research is taking hereafter.

TL;DR: The proposed approach provides the framework for components of a complex control system to work together as a whole rather than as a disjoint set.
Abstract: Global competition is driving manufacturing companies to change the way they do business. New kinds of shop floor control systems need to be implemented for these companies to respond quickly to changing shop floor environments and customer demands. This paper presents a new concept called iShopFloor-an intelligent shop floor based on the Internet, web, and agent technologies. It focuses on the implementation of distributed intelligence in the manufacturing shop floor. The proposed approach provides the framework for components of a complex control system to work together as a whole rather than as a disjoint set. It encompasses both information architecture and integration methodologies. The paper introduces the basic concept of iShopFloor, a generic system architecture, and system components. It also describes the implementation of eXtensible Markup Language message services in iShopFloor and the application of intelligent agents to distributed manufacturing scheduling. A prototype environment is presented, and some implementation issues are discussed.
