Hierarchical Multi-Agent System for Heterogeneous Data Integration

An agent-based framework dedicated to acquiring and processing distributed, heterogeneous data collected from the various Internet sources is proposed. Multi-agent based approach is applied especially in the aspects of: general architecture, organization and management of the framework. The sphere of data processing is structuralized by means of the workflow based approach. The concrete workflow is dynamically put together according to the user’s directives and information acquired so far, and after appropriate orchestration carried out by the agents. Possible application of the framework – the system devoted to searching for a personal profile of a scientist serves as an illustration of the presented ideas and solutions.
