Support System for Information Sharing and Delivery using Multiagent Techniques

Abstract

As information technology advances, it has become possible for us to handle large amount of data. An agent is a computational entity such as a software program or a robot, and can be viewed as perceiving and acting upon its environment. This agent is autonomous in that its behavior at least partially depends on its own experience. The proposed support system applies multiagent techniques in order to improve the efficiency of information sharing and delivery. We examined what functionality is desirable or necessary for users. An experimental system is constructed to verify the validity of the proposed method.
