Abstract

This paper presents a consensus-based approach utilized within a multi-agent system which assists users in retrieving information from the Internet. In this system consensus methods are applied for reconciling inconsistencies among independent answers generated by agents (using different search engines) for a given query. Proposed agent system has been implemented and initial experimental results are presented.
