Task-Based Coordination of Intelligent Agents

IRI-9508191 Sycara，Katia Carnegie Mellon University$50,000-12 mos基于任务的智能代理协调由于技术的进步，各种和海量的信息正在变得可用。这带来了改进决策支持的潜力，但在建立工具以支持用户访问、过滤、评估和融合来自不同信息源的信息以支持用户任务方面提出了挑战。目前对智能代理技术的探索已经考虑为充当用户助理的每个任务使用一个代理。这个项目探索不同代理之间的协调，这些代理将代表用户与其他代理集体交互，以发现、融合和利用支持用户任务的问题解决中的信息。拟议研究的一个关键组成部分将是与墨西哥拉尼亚研究所的Lemaitre博士合作。由于它的两个国家的性质，这项研究工作预计将有更多的好处，如促进国际科学合作，以及更多的机会对我们的理论和研究成果进行实验测试。

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.
