Effective Information Searching on the Internet by the use of Distortion-oriented visualisation

Abstract:
It is unarguable that Internet provides an unlimited diverse, heterogeneous information repository, and the size of this repository is huge and still growing in which searching the information of interest requires an effective technique to represent the information. Existing techniques to represent the information over the Internet suffer a number of limitions. For instance, as one of the most popular techniques, Linked-Graph diagram has a disadvantage that the degree of the relvance has not been explicitly exhibited. In this project, we exploit a new method which represents the information in a distorted roadmap, and the relvance are delineated in terms of the distance and the node size. The approach is based on the distortion-oriented display technique and the visualisation on a special DOD, Frustum.

Agent-based Intelligent Information Systems Development

Abstract:
Intelligent information systems have differentiated themselves with the conventional IS that by the capability of learning and adaptability to the changing environment. One approach to developing such kind of systems is to integrate the artificial intelligence techniques with the agent technique. In this project, we will focus on:

Intelligent Software Agents: Extending Client/Server Paradigm with Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy

Abstract:
Client/Server paradigm is a distributed computing model, in which a client program sends requests to a sever program on a remote host, and server process the requests and send the results back to the clients. The coming and forth of the requests or the results consists of the communication between clients and servers. The communication overhead could become so high that this computing model lost its effectiveness. This problem will desterilise significantly to be useless if this model works on Internet with busy network traffic. The communication is passive. Intelligent agent technique is a new computing paradigm in which an agent can communicate only when it is necessary and at right moment.
