Multi-agent System for Internet acceleration

In recent years the study of multi-agent systems has become an active research field in Artificial Intelligence. The exponential growth of World Wide Web has revealed new opportunities for the development of these systems in the electronic commerce, the information searching and recently the Internet acceleration. In this article we present a multi-agent system, called BoWeMA, for data flow acceleration through the Internet. Its distributed architecture, based on network acceleration concepts, includes data flow analysis, optimisation, compression and dynamic memorisation. The proposed communication model, complying with FIPA ACL standard, offers flexible and efficient messaging between the agents, which is very important in this Internet solution.
