Using constraint propagation in MAGPIE: a multi-agent approach

摘要

Multimodal presentation planning must solve the constraints imposed by the structure of the discourse. In this paper, we discuss a multi-agent implementation of the design and realization layers of the Standard Reference Model (SRM) for Intelligent Multimedia Presentation systems (IMMPS), where design constraints for multimodal presentations are distributed Over a number of agents. Thus, a constraint propagation mechanism is required so that the distributed constraints can be Satisfied cooperatively by these agents.
