....not only been in artificial intelligence but in other areas of computer science such as information retrieval and software engineering. Indeed, there is now a plethora of different labels for agents including autonomous agents [32] software agents [22] intelligent agents [59] interface agents [37], virtual agents [1] information agents [35] mobile agents [57] and so on. The diverse range of applications for which agents are being touted include operating systems interfaces [21] processing satellite imaging data [54] electricity distribution management [31] air traffic control [34] ....

....on link based criteria [15, 19] Others exploit lexical and conceptual knowledge such as those provided by a topic hierarchy [13] Still others emphasize contextual knowledge [1, 28] for the topic including those received via relevance feedback. Our work also relates to collaborative filtering [26, 5, 25] since the queries submitted by the users, help in preparing the collection for similar queries by other users in the future. The use of queries to collaborate between users has been studied in the past [21] 5.2 Future Work One obvious extension to the work is to integrate the crawler and the ....

....supports an atomic query mode where each information access is taken as a new request, independent of previous requests, and returns at lists of ranked resources. The intelligent agent community has introduced methods for assisting users with maintaining focus in large information spaces [7], 8] 9] These techniques revolve around agents that model users and tailor the users perception of the information space. The tailoring attempts to provide contextual focus and relevancy rankings of information. The agents maintain a persistent (and evolving) model of the user to base ....

....of the buyer or the seller before initiating a commercial transaction [28] From an AI perspective, an evaluation of trust is needed to facilitate task allocation, and therefore cooperation, between agents in an open, multiagent, system setting. In the context of collaborative interface agents [21], it is important for agents to be able to identify their true peers, i.e. the ones that can give them relevant advice, and only relevant advice, and information to increase productivity. Different authors have given various definitions for the term Trust, as well as properties that trust must ....
....with this type of reasoning all too well. One could also imagine reinforcement learning techniques: John passes the ball, Mary scores, so John receives positive feedback. For a more complex use of Bayesian networks to model agent relationships, see [2] 3. 2 Trust Acquisition by Interaction In [21], a simple set of protocols are proposed to allow learning interface agents to collaborate in order to learn from each other. It was important for such agents to determine which fellow agents to trust, since the users they were derived from possibly had very dissimilar behavior. The main protocols ....

Our learning method is similar to the single user s agent learning method for the electronic mail domain employed by Maes [14]. But, instead of learning the user s reaction towards incoming messages, the system learns the emotions and favourite activities of the users.

We also expect that incorporating multiple demonstrations to improve system performance will prove useful in many areas, such as Intelligent Assistant Agents [15]. These agents assimilate multiple examples of user behavior and attempt to help the user automate daily computer based tasks. Devising an algorithm that determines the underlying structure of the task in a reasonable amount of time with a small set of examples would be extremely useful, ....

....is that all of our visualization methods come with inference en gines so that solutions can be automatically generated. In addition, visual cues help humans think and solve problems, not just clarify ideas. Intelligent agents We can find many similar examples in the area of intelligent agents [ 12,14,22] which treat problem solving. There are mainly two classes of agents: those self learning agents that watch over the shoulder of a user and become mined to perform the tasks for the user, and those autonomous ones that from the beginning solve problems for users. Our work differs from intelligent ....

This trust is weighted accordingly in the decision making process.

In this system, the user submits a list of pages together with the ratings of these pages. The agent finds other users with similar ratings and suggests unread pages ....
