Abstract

In the domain of multi-user and agent-oriented information systems, personalized information systems aim to give specific and customized responses to individual user requests. In addition to the ability to analyze user needs and to retrieve, understand and act on distributed data that is offered by any agent-oriented system, multi-agent systems also offer interesting possibilities for interaction, particularly with regard to information sharing and task coordination. Our approach exploits these interactive possibilities in order to make the system capable of personalizing information. In addition, reusable models at both the social and individual levels were chosen for this approach in order to facilitate subsequent information system design. With these two ideas in mind, several models of agent interaction (social) and the internal activity cycles (individual) have been proposed with the aim of creating a multi-agent system for information personalization.
