Cooperative Information Systems

这项职业补助金的研究部分旨在揭示和发展合作信息系统（CIS）的原则。CIS是多代理信息系统，其中使用了搜索、企业集成和反应系统方法，并且面向开放的信息环境。该项目的研究目标是揭示CIS的原理，并在可用于在开放信息环境中构建应用程序的原语中实现这些原理。将使用形式语言来处理资源间约束、代理的通信和活动行为，并使用CIS计算类来处理感兴趣的应用程序，从而构建CIS代理工具包。该职业补助金的教育部分侧重于基于CIS技术和原则的课程和支持技术的开发。

The research component of this CAREER grant aims to uncover and develop principles for cooperative information systems (CIS). CIS are multi-agent information systems in which search, enterprise integration, and reactive system approaches are employed, and which are geared toward open information environments. The research goal of this project is to uncover principles of CIS and to realize them in primitives that can be used for building applications in open information environments. Using formal languages for inter-resource constraints, communication and activity behaviors of agents, and classes of CIS computations for applications of interest, a CIS agent toolkit will be built. The educational component of this CAREER grant focuses on the development of courses and supporting technologies based on CIS techniques and principles.
