The Ant System: Optimization by a colony of cooperating agents
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS, MAN, AND CYBERNETICS-PART B
, 1996
"... An analogy with the way ant colonies function has suggested the definition of a new computational paradigm, which we call Ant System. We propose it as a viable new approach to stochastic combinatorial optimization. The main characteristics of this model are positive feedback, distributed computation ..."

computation, and the use of a constructive greedy heuristic. Positive feedback accounts for rapid discovery of good solutions, distributed computation avoids premature convergence, and the greedy heuristic helps find acceptable solutions in the early stages of the search process. We apply the proposed
Commission Sharing and Search Agents ∗
, 2009
"... When a principal hires an agent to do searching, she needs to motivate the agent to pay effort as well as to deliver a suitable result. Since different principals have different taste and the suitability of the search result is not entirely determined by the agents ’ effort, there is an opportunity ..."

Programming and Simulation of Quantum Search Agents
- IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2007. ISIC.
, 2007
"... The extension of classical agents by the ability to perform quantum computation and communication provides an efficient and secure solution to applications such as information search and service matchmaking. In this paper, we propose a hybrid architecture for quantum computational agents, and demons ..."

Ontology Development 101: A Guide to Creating Your First Ontology
, 2001
"... In recent years the development of ontologies—explicit formal specifications of the terms in the domain and relations among them (Gruber 1993)—has been moving from the realm of Artificial-Intelligence laboratories to the desktops of domain experts. Ontologies have become common on the World-Wide Web ..."

for encoding knowledge on Web pages to make it understandable to electronic agents searching for information. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), in conjunction with the W3C, is developing DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) by extending RDF with more expressive constructs aimed
Ant Colony System: A cooperative learning approach to the traveling salesman problem
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
, 1997
"... This paper introduces the ant colony system (ACS), a distributed algorithm that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the ACS, a set of cooperating agents called ants cooperate to find good solutions to TSP’s. Ants cooperate using an indirect form of communication mediated by a pher ..."

A Clustering Internet Search Agent for User Assistance
"... The complexity of an incredibly huge, dynamic, unpredictable, and heterogeneous environment as the WWW continues to grow rapidly. This paper focuses on the design of a clustering search agent which can help users to collects web pages from search engines such as Yahoo and Google, then analyses their ..."

E-LEARNING REPOSITORY SEARCH AGENT
"... In the intelligent e-learning systems the usage of web services and software agents are very promising. In this contribution we investigate and implement a agent for search information from e-learning repositories such like MERLOT online learning materials or ARIADNE Knowledge Pool. In nearest futur ..."

Website Model-Supported Focused Crawler for Search Agents
- Proc. of the 9th Joint Conference on Information Sciences
, 2006
"... This paper advocates the use of ontology-supported website models to provide a semantic level solution for a search agent so that it can provide fast, precise, and stable search results. We have based on the technique to develop a focused crawler, which can benefit both user requests and domain sema ..."

Knowledge Difference and its Influence on a Search Agent
"... This paper studies the influence of knowledge difference on the performance of a search agent --- -- a controllable camera that can pan, tilt and zoom. The task of the agent is to search for a 3D target within a 3D environment. The goal is to maximize the probability of detecting the target within a ..."

Poirot: a relevance-based Web search agent
- In Proceedings of the AAAI-2000 Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Web Search
, 2000
"... This paper describes the first implementation of POIROT, a web search agent based on relevance, that determines the users interests inspecting the pages bookmarked in the web browser and extracting keywords using some information theory methods such as TF-IDF. The keywords are used to build a traini ..."
