Using agents for multi-target search on the Web
Pages 828 - 833
Abstract
In this paper we present an approach to support multi-target search over a set of web nodes. Multi-target search allows users to specify multiple interdependent search objectives. Such objectives are then fulfilled by transparently contacting multiple information sources. We present a runtime platform and a language supporting extraction and assembly of information according to users' needs. The language is based on a XML query language and adapts it to the case where information is obtained by aggregating parts distributed over multiple sites. The platform is based on mobile agents and acts as an intermediary between users and information providers.

Multi-target search strategies
2016 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR)This paper addresses the problem of searching multiple non-adversarial targets using a mobile searcher in an obstacle-free environment. In practice, we are particularly interested in marine applications where the targets drift on the ocean surface. These ...
Speeding up moving-target search
AAMAS '07: Proceedings of the 6th international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systemsIn this paper, we study moving-target search, where an agent (= hunter) has to catch a moving target (= prey). The agent does not necessarily know the terrain initially but can observe it within a certain sensor range around itself. It uses the strategy ...
Intelligent Search Agents Using Web-Driven Natural-Language Explanatory Dialogs
A computational linguistics approach for Web-based cooperative dialogs focuses on the user's requests by automatically generating language-driven interactions that take into account the context, user feedback, and the initial search's results.
