Development of an adaptive multi-agent based content collection system for digital libraries

Abstract

Relevant digital content collection and access are huge problems in digital libraries. It poses a greater challenge to the digital library users and content builders. In this present work an attempt has been made to design and develop a user-adaptive multi-agent system approach to recommend the contents automatically for the digital library. An adaptive dialogue based userinteraction screen has also been provided to access the contents. Once the new contents are added to the collection then the system should automatically alert appropriate user about the new content arrivals based on their interest. The user interactive Question Answering (QA) system provides enough knowledge about the user requirements. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
