چکیده
The WWW is a most popular service on the Internet and a huge number of WWW information sources are available. Conventionally we access WWW information sources one by one by using a browser, but WWW information integration gives a uni ed view to users by integrating multiple WWW information sources elaborately.

An XML-Based, 3-Tier Scheme for Integrating Heterogeneous Information Sources to the WWW
The phenomenal growth that the WWW currently experiences necessitates the integration of various types of information sources to its platform. We present an open, extensible multi-agent architecture, which is based on standards like XML, for the efficient retrieval of information from RDBMSs and HTML document collections. We also specify a series of protocols for achieving the synergy between a...
متن کاملComplex Data Integration Based on a Multi-agent System
The expansion of the WWW and the growth of data sources lead to the proliferation of heterogeneous data (texts, images, videos, sounds and relational views). We call these data ”complex data”. In order to explore them, we need to carry out their integration into a unified format. Collecting, structuring and storing constitute the different tasks of complex data integration. There exists many ap...
متن کاملA multi agent method for cell formation with uncertain situation, based on information theory
This paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. It proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. Based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...
متن کاملImproving Agent Performance for Multi-Resource Negotiation Using Learning Automata and Case-Based Reasoning
In electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. In order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. In multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. In recent ...
متن کاملMethod integration: An approach to develop agent oriented methodologies
Agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) is an emerging field in computer science and proposes some systematic ideas for multi agent systems analysis, implementation and maintenance. Despite the various methodologies introduced in the agent-oriented software engineering, the main challenges are defects in different aspects of methodologies. According to the defects resulted from weaknesses ...
