Are Many Heads Better Than One—On Combining Information from Multiple Internet Sources

  • Conference paper
Intelligent Distributed Computing, Systems and Applications

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 162))

Summary

In this paper we look into three approaches, based on: Game Theory, Auction and Consensus methods, to combine information from multiple sources. As originally introduced, they are conceptualized using an agent metaphor and implemented using a JADE agent platform. Preliminary performance comparison completes the presentation.
