[Search-l] Does anyone remember the artemis-l plans?

[Ronald Ashri]

Artemis sounds very much like a typical agent-based approach to  
problem solving. Individual agents specialise on specific tasks and  
share a common language (protocol) through which to  share results.

The notions of factories (or worker agents), brokers of agent  
capabilities and information, etc have been analysed extensively  
within this community and if I recall correctly there are some  
prototype search systems implemented using such as approach.

I don't know Artemis directly but if this sort of direction is of  
interest for Wikia then I would be happy to put together a little  
summary/bibliography of related agent-based research dealing with  
decentralised search. Might provide inspiration and/or work that can  
directly be inputted in Wikia.

Best,

Ronald
