.... to moderate a range of digital library services, the InfoSleuth system [13] which exploits user, middleware and resource agents to deliver complex information services, and Retsina which provides a rich infrastructure of user, task and middleware agents for information management activities [17]. Mullen and Wellman s Simple Computational Market model [12] aims to tackle the problem of when and where to establish mirror sites for the more popular information services. Competitive agents choose to set up mirrors based on going prices for network bandwidth, computational resources, and the ....

....The second school of thought says that the agents should be able to learn; rather than having a large memory, they should have the ability to acquire experience from previous negotiations they ve conducted. Both schools will be reviewed here. 7 4. 1 Intelligent Agents: No Machine Learning Sycara and Zeng (1996) outline a meta framework for coordinating and structuring a collection of intelligent software, and they report they have designed a protocol for proposals and counter proposals between agents. It is unclear whether the framework is intended to be used for cooperative or competitive problems, but ....
....poker hand. Chavez and Maes report the user feedback was generally positive, but the participants were disappointed when their agents did clearly stupid things, such as accepting the first feasible offer when a second, better one was available. 4. 2 Intelligent Agents: Machine Learning Zeng and Sycara (1996) present Bazaar, an experimental system for updating negotiation offers between two intelligent agents during bilateral negotiations. It explicitly models negotiation as a sequential decision making task, and uses Bayesian probability as the underlying learning 8 mechanism. They present an ....

....domain. We identified that reusable software agents efficiently address the critical issues associated with each of the different agent categories. For this reason, we defined standard agents for different functionalities and integrated them into databases. Following the ideas described in [14], we distinguish three different types of agents: interface agents; task agents; and . information agents. In our developed system, we provide the end user with the ability to set up an agency using available agents in a database securely available via an Internet Agent Provider (see ....

Agent coordination occurs between agents filling specific roles in the structure of the team, and roles can be dynamically assigned to agents, in a manner similar to [7] We also plan to use distributed methods to optimize the ....

....and decentralized. Jennings et al. 19] provide a detailed review of the field. Multi agent systems have been developed for a variety of application domains, including electronic commerce, air traffic control, workflow management, transportation systems, and Web applications, among others [40,41]. To enable effective inter agent communication and coordination, agents that work together have to use an interoperable, platform independent, and semantically unambiguous communication protocol. The two most widely used agent communication languages (ACL) are the Knowledge Query and Manipulation ....

....The RETSINA multi agent system [MAS] is a collection of heterogeneous software entities that collaborate with each other to either provide a result or service to other software entities or to an end user. As a society, RETSINA agents can be described in terms of the RETSINA Functional Architecture[30,27], illustrated by Figure 1, which categorizes agents as belonging to any of four agent types: Fig. 1. The RETSINA Functional Architecture Interface agents present agent results to the user, or solicit input from the user. In addition, they could learn from user actions[5] Interface agents ....
