Multi-agent plan based information gathering

Agent-based Social Information Gathering on Internet

The popularization of computers and the Internet have produced an explosion in the amount of inform~ttion, ntaking difficult to find the.hi. The. problem with oxisting information-locating support systemns is that ahhough they allow user to search through a large, nunfl)e.r of information sources, they provide very limited capabilitie.s for locating. combining and processing informations.

Reflective, Deliberative Agent-Based Information Gathering

Information Fusion With Subject-Based Information Gathering Method for Intelligent Multi-Agent Models

This paper addresses the problem of information fusion using a multi-agent information gathering system. We present a hierarchical subject-based query expansion method, followed by a cooperative fusion algorithm for unstructured documents. We evaluate the performance using the traditional methods of precision and recall. The results show that the subject-based fusion method is promising and eff...

MACRON: An Architecture for Multi-agent Cooperative Information Gathering

The complexity of the modern information carrying landscape requires a sophisti cated view in which information is acquired rather than simply retrieved where the process must be dynamic incremental and constrained by resource limitations In this paper we describe a multi agent architecture called MACRON based on the Cooper ative Information Gathering CIG paradigm designed speci cally for such ...

A multi-agent system architecture for geographic information gathering.

World Wide Web (WWW) is a vast repository of information, including a great deal of geographic information. But the location and retrieval of geographic information will require a significant amount of time and effort. In addition, different users usually have different views and interests in the same information. To resolve such problems, this paper first proposed a model of geographic informa...
