Abstract

We describe the ingredients of an intelligent agent (a broker) for configuration and execution of knowledge systems for customer requests. The knowledge systems are configured from reusable problem-solving methods that reside in digital libraries on the Internet. The approach followed amounts to solving two subproblems: (i) the configuration problem which implies that we have to reason about problem-solving components, and (ii) execution of heterogeneous components. We use CORBA as the communication infrastructure.
