互联网的信息代理技术

互联网用户要求为其在互联网的多种可利用的信息资源中查找、获得和维护所需相关信息提供先进的解决方案。智能的信息代理是自动计算的软件实体，可提供动态的信息搜寻，解决信息需求者和信息提供者之间的理解差异，并能及时处理困扰用户的“信息过载”方面的问题。本文在根据信息代理的特点进行系统分类的基础上，介绍有关构建信息智能代理的基本技术。

Information Agent Technology for the Internet

The common user demands advanced solutions for searching, acquiring and maintaining relevant information among the vast amount of heterogeneous sources available on the Internet. Intelligent information agents are autonomous computational software entities that are especially meant to provide pro-active resource discovery, resolve information impedance of information consumers and providers and cope with the difficulties associated with the information overload of the user in time. Based on a systematic classification of intelligent information agents according to their features, this paper presents an overview of the basic key technologies needed to build such agents.
