Abstract

Recent advances in processor, networking and software technologies have made distributed computing a reality in today's world. Distributed systems offer many advantages, ranging from a higher performance to the effective utilization of physically dispersed resources. Many diverse application domains can benefit by exploiting principles of distributed computing. Information filtering is one such application domain. In this article, we present a design of a homogeneous distributed multi-agent information filtering system, called D-SIFTER. D-SIFTER is based on the language-dependent model of Java RMI. The detailed design process and various experiments carried out using D-SIFTER are also described. The results indicate that the distributed inter-agent collaboration improves the overall filtering performance.
