A study of an agent based support system for gathering event information

摘要

An event scheduler needs event information. Event information has become electronically available in different sources i.e mailbox, netnews etc. Filtering necessary information from these sources and inserting them to the scheduler, manually by a user itself is a troublesome routine work. We propose a system wherein an agent automatically gathers necessary information on the user behalf by checking the prospective mailbox, NetNews etc, arranging them to the given standard format, and finally conveying to the scheduler. And thus, reduces the user overloads. In this paper, we describe decision making, information--completion functions by referring user's personal profiles and discuss it's availability by the experiments with prototype system.
