Abstract:

Abstract. Cooperative Information Systems (CISs) are multiagent systems with organizational and database abstractions geared to the large open heterogeneous information environments of today. CIS is also the name of the associated research area, which has emerged from the synthesis of distributed databases and distributed artificial intelligence. In CIS, software agents mitigate an information environment's heterogeneity by interacting through common protocols, and manage its large size by making intelligent local decisions without centralized control. In order to cope with the dynamism presented by open environments, CIS agents must have the ability to adapt and learn. We discuss some of the most important problems involving learning and adaptivity in CISs, including requirements for reconciling semantics and improving coordination. We present a "customers ' view " of learning technology as might find ready application in CISs. 1
