Agent-based Intelligent Information Gathering on Large Scale Information Sources.

Agent-based Social Information Gathering on Internet

The popularization of computers and the Internet have produced an explosion in the amount of inform~ttion, ntaking difficult to find the.hi. The. problem with oxisting information-locating support systemns is that ahhough they allow user to search through a large, nunfl)e.r of information sources, they provide very limited capabilitie.s for locating. combining and processing informations.

Information Fusion With Subject-Based Information Gathering Method for Intelligent Multi-Agent Models

This paper addresses the problem of information fusion using a multi-agent information gathering system. We present a hierarchical subject-based query expansion method, followed by a cooperative fusion algorithm for unstructured documents. We evaluate the performance using the traditional methods of precision and recall. The results show that the subject-based fusion method is promising and eff...

Reflective, Deliberative Agent-Based Information Gathering

A Linguistic Information Process in a Distributed Intelligent Agent Model for Information Gathering on the Internet

In this paper, a proposal for managing linguistic information in a distributed intelligent agent model for information gathering on the Inter-net is studied. The Linguistic Weighted Aver-ating Operator to aggregate linguistic weighted information is described, and its use in the information gathering and communication proccess among agents in a distributed intelligent agent model on the Interne...

Semantic Information Gathering Approach for Heterogeneous Information Sources on WWW

The increasing demand for accessing heterogeneous information sources to support global applications and decision making requirements forces organizations to solve heterogeneity problems. One of the important problems stemming from accessing the heterogeneous data is semantic heterogeneity. A number of research efforts have been proposed to address this problem, ranging from mediator-based syst...
