A Multiagent System Aiding Information Retrieval in Internet Using Consensus Methods

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3381))

Abstract

This paper presents a multiagent system (called AGWI) which should assist users in information retrieval in Internet. In this system consensus methods are applied for reconciling inconsistency of answers generated by agents for the same query. The system has been created by means of platform IBM Aglets.
