A Plan Based Approach to Information Agents.

Abstract

Our aim in the work set forth in this proposal is to develop a system architecture, composed of a set of active planning and information agents, that supports building systems that use a client's goals, plans, and preferences to determine what information to find, filter, and present to the user. This architecture will also support agents that help users articulate their goals and develop the plans designed to meet them. This focus on plans and goals will provide our information agents with a touchstone of relevance that can be used to decide what information seek, where to look for it, and how to present it. This proposal draws on our work in both planning and information systems. In particular, it has its roots in case-based planning, information presentation and browsing systems, reactive execution, and multi-media information systems.
