Abstract

We propose the Multiple Character-Agents Interface (MCI) as an information integration platform where multiple animated life-like characters interact with each other and with the user to retrieve and integrate information from the Internet. The MCI makes the process open to the user and allows him/her to collaborate with the character-agents. We implemented the MCI as a multi-agent system in which information agents distributed over the Internet are integrated, then we developed a prototype called Venus and Mars, which is a cooperative cooking recipe search engine consisting of three character-agents that collaborate with the user to locate cooking recipe pages.
