Abstract

Sharing Experience using an Agent-based System Architecture Layout (SEASALT) presents an instantiation of the Collaborating Multi-expert Systems (CoMES) approach. It integrates techniques from software engineering and combines them with artificial intelligence methodologies. The approach offers an application-independent architecture that features knowledge acquisition from a web-community, knowledge modularisation and agent-based knowledge maintenance. The paper introduces a travel medicine as application domain which applies SEASALT and describes each part of the novel architecture for extracting, analysing, sharing and providing community experiences in an individualised way.
