This work introduces an adaptive Web search system, based on a reactive agent architecture, which drew inspiration from the Ant System computational paradigm. This system aims at searching reactively and autonomously information about a particular topic, in huge hypertextual collections, such as the Web. The adaptivity allows it to be robust to environmental alterations and to user information need changes. Besides showing significant results on standard collections, this work widens further the range of intelligent search topic, towards theories and architectures of agent and multiagent systems.

Abstract

This system aims at searching reactively and autonomously information about a particular topic, in huge hypertextual collections, such as the Web. The adaptivity allows it to be robust to environmental alterations and to user information need changes. Besides showing significant results on standard collections, this work widens further the range of intelligent search topic, towards theories and architectures of agent and multiagent systems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
