KNIXMAS (Knowledge Shared XPS-Based Research Network Using Multi-Agent Systems)

Due to the increasing demand of globally distributed information within complex research and development there is a need for intelligent self adapting global research and development networks, especially under GroupWare aspects. The main objective is to design and establish a framework (shell) for an intelligent global research network consisting of connected local (national) working and research networks. This framework will consist of distributed co-operating expert systems (Intelligent Base Systems) with decision support modules for research management and intelligent knowledge retrieval provided by applied multi-agent systems. For the prototype, the local research networks and workingspaces will be realised as Intranets in 5 different European countries (Germany, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria). The centre of each local network will be an intelligent base system conceived as expert system with co-operating and communication facilities via Internet/Intranet. The entire knowledge will be shared over the whole network and managed by Intelligent Knowledge Brokers. For the intelligent knowledge retrieval, global and local standard multi-agent systems will be installed on heterogeneous platforms using CORBA standards.
