BotSpot Categories Knowledge Bots continued PAGE 4 OF 4 Project Ariadne Project Ariadne is developing tools to construct wrappers that make web sources look like databases and are developing the mediator technology required to dynamically and efficiently answer queries using these sources. The resulting system will make it fast and cheap to build new applications from existing web sources. The mediator and wrapper approach also make it easy to maintain these applications and incorporate new sources as they become available. Project Aristotle Project Aristotle - Automated Categorization of Web Resources. This is an extensive site listing projects, research, products and services available throughout the world for the automated categorization of Web resources. A must site for both the Newbie and Experienced Net user. RAPPID Responsible Agents for Product-Process Integrated Design (RAPPID), funded at the Industrial Technology Institute by DARPA's RaDEO program, is a community of agents (active software objects with varying degrees of intelligence) that help human designers manage product characteristics across different functions and stages in the product life cycle. Remembrance Agents Remembrance Agents are a new class of applications that watch over a user's shoulder and suggest information relevant to the current situation. While query-based memory aids help with direct recall, remembrance agents are an augmented associative memory. For example, a database or search engine can answer direct questions like "how do I get to Central Square?" Remembrance Agents instead offer the kind of information you didn't even know enough to ask, like "there's a great coffee-shop just around the corner." Research on Software Agents Research of Software Agents by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Department of Computer Science of the Vrije University, Brussels, Belgium includes many excellent on going projects with their goal to develop agent architectures that operate on the Internet and use Mosaic-like interfaces. Projects include MAGICA, GEOMED, CONSTRUCT, SACEA, NMS and ECRAN TOTAL. They are also working on specific examples of intelligent software agents for flexible presentation of information, navigation through large amounts of distributed information sources on the WWW, follow up and support for administrative procedures, and negotiations. Resource Discovery Unit The Resource Discovery Unit (RDU) is a project from the Research Data Network CRC and is operated by the DSTC.

Sandia Intelligent Agents for Manufacturing Sandia Intelligent Agents for Manufacturing (SIAM) covers Distributed Objects for Manufacturing, Java CORBRA Integration Strategies, Agent Architecture Overview, Agent Architecture Implementation and Related Web Sites in Agent-Based Systems and Manufacturing. SmartRanker SmartRanker is a fuzzy applet that performs smart database searches by employing fuzzy logic concepts to make "intelligent" choices from imprecise and perhaps conflicting queries. The significance of the fuzzy formulation lies in its flexible ability to get by on whatever level of knowledge a user is able to impart. Soar Project The Soar project is a long term, multi-disciplinary, multi-site attempt at building, understanding, and applying an integrated model of intelligent behavior that can serve both as a useful AI system and as an unified theory of human cognition.

TACOMA Project The TACOMA (Tromso And COrnell Moving Agents) Project focuses on operating system support for agents and how agents can be used to solve problems traditionally addressed by operating systems. They have completed a series of TACOMA distributed systems where agents can be moved about in the Internet. Source code for three TACOMA versions can be obtained through these pages. Telelearning Agents Telelearning and Intelligent Agents Project from the Multimedia Information Research Lab, University of Ottawa, objective is to design, implement and evaluate an interactive multimedia Telelearning system which will allow both students and teachers to create, store, retrieve, and access course material in the multimedia digital database and interact in a groupware architecture over the network.

The CASHMERE Project The CASHMERE Project is a Cooperative Agent System for Knowledge Discovery in Heterogeneous Information Resources. The Distributed Artificial Intelligence Laboratory The Distributed AI Laboratory investigates problems that arise when multiple agents (including computational agents and humans) interact to solve interrelated problems. Current Research projects range from Automated Contracting to the CIG SearchBots The Experimental Knowledge Systems Laboratory The Experimental Knowledge Systems Laboratory (EKSL) is part of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts and seeks to understand the requirements of autonomous agents operating in complex, real-world environments, and to develop a science of agent design grounded in this understanding. The Frankfurt Mobile Agents Infrastructure The Frankfurt Mobile Agents Infrastructure (ffMAIN) implements an infrastructure for mobile agents which provide for agent mobility across heterogeneous networks as well as communications among agents. It supports agents written using diverse languages and lets agent programmers implement a variety of interaction schemes based on a basic, but general communication mechanism. The Sim_Agent Toolkit The Sim_Agent toolkit was developed within the Cognition and Affect project at the University of Birmingham. The ftp repository for the project includes papers reporting on theoretical work and preliminary designs. UM-PRS UM-PRS (University of Michigan's implementation of the Procedural Reasoning System) is composed of four components: a database representing the current world model, a library of plans called Knowledge Areas (KAs), a primitive function library and primitive function interface for performing low-level functions, and an intention structure that maintains the runtime state of the set of currently active goals. URL - The InfoBot URL - The InfoBot is a perl script that runs under SIRC as well as MACPERL and MACSirc. What makes URL - the InfoBot different from a Lycos is that it learns by observing and that you can query it in intuitive ways. Via A complete overview of the features of Kinetoscope's Versatile Intelligent Agent System, Via.

USC/ISI is developing a pedagogical agent called Steve (Soar Training Experts for Virtual Environments) that supports the learning process. Steve agents can demonstrate skills to students, answer student questions, watch the student as they perform the tasks, and give advice if the students run into difficulties. Virtual Secretary Project The motivation of the Virtual Secretary (ViSe) Project is to construct user-model-based intelligent software agents, which could in most cases replace human secretarial tasks, based on modern mobile computing and computer network. The project includes two diferent phases: the first phase (ViSe1) focuses on using informatin filtering and process migration, its goal is to create a secure environment for software agents using the concept of user models; the second phase (ViSe2) concentrates on agents' intelligence and efficient cooperation in a distributed environment, its goal is to construct cooperative agents for achieving high intelligence. The VeSe1 agents focus on three secretarial tasks: local information filtering (email, news and diary), global inforation filtering (file retrieval and WWW), and user environment personification.
