Agent-community based peer-to-peer information retrieval: an evaluation

The Agent-Community-based Peer-to-Peer Information Retrieval (ACP2P) method uses agent communities to manage and look up information of interest to users. An agent works as a delegate of its user and searches for information that the user wants by communicating with other agents. The communication between agents is carried out in a peer-to-peer computing architecture. The ACP2P is implemented using the Multi-Agent Kodama framework. This paper presents how the ACP2P method works in an agent community network and show the experimental results to illustrate the validity of this approach.
