Abstract
This paper presents a Java agent application framework and shows its example through the implementation of an agent application service. This framework comprised of agent, agent system, agent master and agent manager components. Each component is connected to others via an agent interface, and messages are passed through these interface points. By using this framework, it is possible to deploy a new agent application service with simple and efficient operation. Herein, we implemented the agent application service network using a Java agent application framework. Specifically, the implemented network was a contents distribution network using an agent service, and the network was both controlled and managed with the agent framework interface. In our test, the network service decreased network traffic while preserving reasonable quality through the adequate deployment and management of agent components.
