A General Conceptual Model of Recommendation Based on Multi-Agent Approach

In recent years, recommendation is becoming more and more popular in many fields. However, there are still some problems, such as single point failure, lack of ability to support different devices and etc. To solve these problems, researches have been carried out using multi-agent approach but some new problems occur. In this paper, we draw an overview of the multiagent recommendation systems according to the recent study in this field. Through our investigation, we summarize the challenges that multi-agent recommendation systems face and come up with a general conceptual model called GMMR. To some extent, our work may give researchers a comprehensive understanding of the significance of multi-agent recommendation systems and provide a useful model for developers.
