Coalition-Based Cooperation between Intelligent Agents for a Contextual Recognition of Interdatabase Dependencies.
Matthias Klusch · 1995
A novel approach towards the recognition of intezdatabase dependencies using a federative agent system FCSI is presented ([4],I5]). The architecture of the FCSI is designed as a set of coalition-based cooperative, intelligent information agents each of them uniquely assigned to one autonomous local database system. The FCSZ aims for a cooperative solution/or the problem o/searching for semantically related information while strictly respecting the autonomy require. ments of each individual database system. For this purpose first a terminologically represented local domain information model on top of the !o. cal conceptual database schema is built at each agent by processing .scripts specified by user’s intention on externally available semantic aspects or views of some local database schema objects. These objects are then appropi,Ltely linked into the local information ontology by the local FCSI
