InfoSleuth is a research project at MCC that is developing and deploying new technologies for finding information available both in corporate networks and in external networks, such as networks based on the emerging National Information Infrastructure (NII). The InfoSleuth research is based

The MCC InfoSleuth project is developing an architecture and toolkit for deploying agent applications that focus on information gathering and analysis over diverse and dynamic networks of multimedia information sources 1 . In this paper, we present the structure of the layered agent shell

The MCC InfoSleuth Project 1 is an agent-based system for information gathering and analysis tasks performed over networks of autonomous information sources. A key motivation of the InfoSleuth system is that real information gathering applications require long-running monitoring and integration

The goM of the InfoSleuth project at MCC is to exploit and synthesize new technologies into a unified system that retrieves and processes information in an ever-changing net- work of information sources. InfoSleuth has its roots in the Carnot project at MCC, which specialized in integrating

InfoSleuth is an agent-based system that can be configured to perform many di#erent information management activities in a distributed environment. InfoSleuth TM agents provide a number of complex query services that require resolving ontology-based queries over dynamically changing, distributed

s Service (CAS) registry number (7439-97-6), "raw" CAS number (dashes removed---7439976), and common name ("quicksilver "). Within an ontology, each class has one or more slots, where each slot has a conceptual domain name with a canonical value domain over which all agents communicate when referring to that slot. This mapping problem has several manifestations, which we relate roughly in the order they have been addressed in the literature (insofar as they are addressed at all): ffl Traditional: Mapping between schemas can take place by imposing a view on that information and/or defining functions to translate the data from one value domain to another, as is currently done in relational databases, e.g., [9]. This type of mapping provides little support for semantics, but rather relies on the structure of the data. ffl Ontology-based: A common ontology is defined with well-specified semantics for the concepts it describes. Mapping between a schema and an ontology is done on a semantic...

InfoSleuth is a system of collaborating software agents that can be configured to perform many different information management activities in a distributed environment. InfoSleuth agents advertise semantic constraints about themselves to InfoSleuth brokers using a global domain ontology. When

InfoSleuth is an agent-based system for information discovery and retrieval in a dynamic, open environment. Brokering in InfoSleuth is a match-making process, recommending agents that provide services to agents requesting services. This paper discusses InfoSleuth’s distributed multibroker design
