Task-Based Coordination of Intelligent Agents

锡卡拉，卡蒂亚卡耐基梅隆大学5万美元- 12个基于任务的智能代理协调由于技术的进步，多样化和大量的信息正在变得可用。这为改进决策支持提供了潜力，但在构建工具以支持用户访问、过滤、评估和融合来自异构信息源的信息以支持用户任务方面提出了挑战。目前智能代理技术的探索已经考虑了每个任务都有一个代理作为用户的助手。这个项目探索了不同代理之间的协调，这些代理将代表用户与其他代理共同交互，以发现、融合和利用信息来解决问题，以支持用户任务。拟议研究的一个关键组成部分将是与墨西哥LANIA研究所的Lemaitre博士合作。由于它的两国性质，这项研究工作预计会有额外的好处，例如促进国际科学合作，以及对我们的理论和研究结果进行实验测试的额外机会。

IRI-9508191 Sycara, Katia Carnegie Mellon University $50,000 - 12 mos Task-Based Coordination of Intelligent Agents Due to advances in technology, diverse and voluminous information is becoming available. This presents the potential for improved decision support, but poses challenges in terms of building tools to support users in accessing, filtering, evaluating and fusing information from heterogeneous information sources to support user tasks. Current explorations of Intelligent Agent technology have considered a single agent for each task that acts as a user's assistant. This project explores coordination among different agents that will collectively interact with other agents on a user's behalf to find, fuse and utilize information in problem solving in support of user task. A key component of the proposed research will be collaboration with Dr. Lemaitre of the LANIA Research Institute in Mexico. Because of its bi- national nature, the research effort is expected to have additional benefits, such as promotion of international scientific collaboration, and additional opportunities for experimental testing of our theories and research results.
