AN ARCHITECTURE FOR DISTRIBUTED EXPERT SYSTEMS BASED ON COLLABORATIVE AGENTS

Abstract: This paper addresses the possibility of building an agent-based architecture that enables users to interact with multiple knowledge-based system applications through an intelligent interface agent. This intelligent interface works as a personal assistant that works on behalf of the knowledge-based system user, and makes the necessary actions to interact and communicate with multiple knowledge-based system agents transparently from the user. This approach highly increases the usability of knowledge-based system applications, and introduces a new methodology for knowledge-based system building, based on collaborative agents. In order to prove the applicability of the presented architecture we have applied the system on two applications in the domain of agriculture namely diagnosis and irrigation expert systems.
