Supporting knowledge management infrastructure : a multi-agent approach

Knowledge management has by now exerted a large influence over industrial practice. We propose a multi-agent based system to provide infrastructure service to meet various requirements of knowledge management in view of the complex nature of the task, i.e., covering science and technologies across different disciplines. The paper discusses the use of a multi-agent system to support the knowledge management infrastructure. It will also discuss the design rational and implementation details as well as an application to the problem of feature extraction in weather prediction.
