碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 資訊工程所 === 91 === With the growing of large software systems, integrating several software applications as a new system is a common development approach. Moreover, the multi-agent architecture is considered to be suitable for the supporting of middleware due to features of agents. Therefore, agents could be applied to aid the software integration in distributed environment. On the other hand, integrating legacy systems as new software through the help of agents is becoming mature and practical. In this way, programmer may need some guide of architecture design to integrate efficiently software systems. In this study, consequently, we will propose a framework as a blueprint and reference document for distributed software integration systems through multi-agent. In this framework, we apply the interaction model between several agents to integrate software applications in distributed environment. The framework also specifies the topology of multi-agent cooperation. In order to describe these agents in formal, we adopt AUML as the modeling language. Finally, we design a distributed graphical feat statistic system by referring to the framework as the reference of using the framework.
