Building a Collaborative Information Agent in a HomeBot
Application,
In Proceedings of Ubiquitous Mobile Information and Collaboration Systems (UMICS 2003), held in conjunction with CAiSE'03,
Klagenfurt/Velden, Austria, pp. 38-46, 16-17 June 2003.
Information agents are cooperative agents whose main goal
is to collaborate and assist task agents like mobile agents in
obtaining information from heterogenous data sources. This study sets
out to find the practical problems that a developer might encounter in
the process of engineering an information agent in the context of a
real estate agent based application. In our research, we investigated
the practicality of constructing an information agent based on existing
tools available in the marketplace. We enumerate the practical issues
that one will face in the engineering of such an agent in a mobile
agent HomeBot application. We also set out in here some suggested
techniques in overcoming them. Our contention is that the construction
of an information agent is feasible but tedious, but more importantly
what is needed is an integrated tool that is yet missing and is not
provided for in the community, somethng agent tool builders should
address immediately.
