Abstract
Web retrieval becomes more and more important for the knowledge management area, and we think that multi-agent systems are a good answer to this problem. We propose, in this paper, a centralized Information multi-agent system to help actors of technological watch cells (called CIMASTEWA). This system is an evolution of a previous project and is set-up within a n-tiers architecture, which follows the STRUTS framework. This information multiagent system that has been developed to answer to demands from technological watch cells (for example, to securitize the search, notably concerning the survey by spies, we have proposed particular search strategies).
