SIG PROFILE

The SIG on Intelligent Information Agents aims at melting together the multi-agent system and the information access technologies by investigating to what extent methods from Artificial Intelligence, Database Systems and Information Retrieval can be applied to information discovery by single or groups/teams of information agents in the Internet and the World Wide Web. The SIG on Intelligent Information Agents is expected to establish new cooperations among research groups in the related areas mentioned above, but also to strengthen existing contacts and focus scattered efforts for research on and development of intelligent information agents. This includes promotion of collaborative projects and cross fertilisation of ideas between nodes of the AgentLink Network of Excellence which are active in R&D of information agents.
