Distributed knowledge-base: adaptive multi-agents approach

Abstract

This paper studies an approach of using multi-agents theory to construct an adaptive knowledge based system. To represent the knowledge, frame base (graph) knowledge representation has been chosen. The driving force of this study is the intention of having a distributed (possibly across the net) adaptive knowledge base. The challenge of developing an adaptive knowledge base depends on how to evolve the knowledge (adaptivity) and how to control the evolution (maintain the quality of the knowledge). In this paper the manifestation of both the issues discussed on our model is addressed.
