Design of the TTI Prototype Trusted Mail Agent

by Marshall Rose, David J. Farber, Stephen T. Walker , 1985
"... The design of the TTI prototype Trusted Mail Agent (TMA) is discussed. This agent interfaces between two entities: a key distribution center (KDC) and a user agent (UA). The KDC manages keys for the encryption of text messages, which two subscribers to a key distribution service (KDS) may exchange. ..."

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part One: Mechanisms for Specifying and Describing the Format of Internet Message Bodies

by N. Borenstein, N. Freed - RFC 1521, BELLCORE, INNOSOFT , 1993
"... RFC 822 defines a message representation protocol which specifies considerable detail about message headers, but which leaves the message content, or message body, as flat ASCII text. This document redefines the format of message bodies to allow multi-part textual and non-textual message bodies to b ..."

An evolvable rule-based e-mail agent

by J. J. Alferes, A. Brogi, J. A. Leite, L. M. Pereira - Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2902:394 – 408 , 2003
"... Abstract. The Semantic Web is a “living organism”, which combines autonomously evolving data sources/knowledge repositories. This dynamic character of the Semantic Web requires (declarative) languages and mechanisms for specifying its maintenance and evolution. For example, for changing the behaviou ..."

be put to work to model such reactive and updateable rule bases, bringing an important added value to RuleML. We make our case by exhibiting a detailed application example of how EVOLP can be used to express updateable RuleML rule bases, employing it to define an evolving e-mail Personal Assistant Agent

Interface Agents that Learn: An Investigation of Learning Issues in a Mail Agent Interface

by Terry R. Payne, Peter Edwards , 1995
"... In recent years, interface agents have been developed to assist users with various tasks. Some systems employ machine learning techniques to allow the agent to adapt to the user's changing requirements. With the increase in the volume of data on the Internet, agents have emerged which are able ..."

to monitor and learn from their users to identify topics of interest. One such agent, described here, has been developed to filter mail messages. We examine the issues involved in constructing an autonomous interface agent which employs a learning component, and explore the use of two different learning

Learning Email Filtering Rules with Magi A Mail Agent Interface

by Terry Payne, Terry Payne - Department of Computing Science, University of Aberdeen , 1994
"... As the volume of data on the Internet increases the need for better tools to handle this flood of data is also growing. Interface agents are tools which are designed to aid the user in using various applications. This project describes the development of an agent which employs machine learning techn ..."

techniques to discover rules for filtering email. It explains how the agent observes the user in handling mail and how these observations are used to help automate this task. The agent is then evaluated, through testing, to examine whether such a tool can be useful as a personal assistant. A description

Computers that learn vs. Users that learn: Experiments with adaptive e-mail agents

by Joachim Diederich, Elizabeth M. Gurrie, Markus Wasserschaff
"... The classification, selection and organization of electronic messages (e-mail) is a task that can be supported by a neural information processing system. The objective is to select those incoming messages for display that are most important for a particular user, and to propose actions in anticipati ..."

Collaborative Interface Agents

by Yezdi Lashkari, Max Metral, Pattie Maes - In Proceedings of the Twelfth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence , 1994
"... Interface agents are semi-intelligent systems which assist users with daily computer-based tasks. Recently, various researchers have proposed a learning approach towards building such agents and some working prototypes have been demonstrated. Such agents learn by `watching over the shoulder' of ..."

to actions it has seen the user perform. Collaboration between agents assisting different users can alleviate both of these problems. We present a framework for multiagent collaboration and discuss results of a working prototype, based on learning agents for electronic mail. Introduction Learning interface

Learning interface agents

by Pattie Maes - In AAAI , 1993
"... Interface agents are computer programs that employ Artificial Intelligence techniques in order to provide assistance to a user dealing with a particular comput-er application. The paper discusses an interface agent which has been modelled closely after the metaphor of a personal assistant. The agent ..."

It presents actual results from two proto-type agents built using these techniques: one for a meeting scheduling application and one for electronic mail. It argues that the machine learning approach to building interface agents is a feasible one which has

IBP-Mail: Controlled Delivery of Large Mail Files

by Wael R. Elwasif , James S. Plank, Micah Beck, Rich Wolski , 1999
"... IBP-Mail is an improvement to the current state of the art in mailing large files over the Internet. It arises from the addition of writable storage to the pool of available Internet resources. With IBP-Mail, a sender registers a large file with an IBP-Mail agent, and stores it into a network storag ..."

Concept Features in Re:Agent, an Intelligent Email Agent

by Gary Boone - Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Autonomous Agents , 1998
"... An important issue in the application of machine learning techniques to information management tasks is the nature of features extracted from textual information. We have created an intelligent email agent that can learn actions such as filtering, prioritizing, downloading to palmtops, and forwardin ..."

Our agent's newfeature extraction approach is based on first learning concepts present within the mail, then using these concepts as features for learning actions to perform on the messages. What features should be chosen? This paper
