Abstract
Emphasize the use of Artificial Intelligence methods and tools in the
context of distributed information network like the World Wide Web in
order to:
- * build intelligent assistants and information agents
- * gather distributed information
- * discover new network services
- * index and manage huge information databases
- * help users to navigate on the web
- * filter flow of information
- * anticipate the needs of an user
- * personalize service to users according to their preferences
- * work cooperatively
Concerned methods and techniques:
(this list is not exhaustive)
- * intelligent sotfware agents
- * knowledge representation
- * knowledge acquisition
- * ontologies
- * case-based reasoning
- * machine learning
- * data mining
- * linguistics tools
- * information retrieval tools
- * integration and cooperation beetween multiple AI tools
Specific goals and results expected:
- * To clarify the realistic contributions of AI to build next
generation
mediators between users and the distributed knowledge in the world-wide
network
- * To evidence the interest of WWW area as application field of some
mature
AI results
