Abstract

To realize the effective reuse of mechanical parts for developing a sustainable society, it is essential to manage the individual parts over their entire life cycle. Therefore, we are developing a part agent system using network agents. In this paper, we assume that a user acts based on the expected value obtained by current and future actions such as use, repair, replacement, and disposal. We employ prospect theory to calculate these expected values, and user behavior is discussed in the life cycle simulation using a part agent system based on prospect theory.
