Paper Abstract:
|
CART (context-aware retrieval and Transcoding) in general and SMA (smart meeting assistant) in particular help in improving the effectiveness of a collaboration targeted towards a pre-set goal. In this paper, we describe how multiple mobile agents and home agents interact with each other during collaboration. In particular, we describe the notion of context convergence wherein a set of contexts associated with individual collaborating participants progressively converge towards the set goal and how multiple mobile and home agents interact together to achieve this objective. We also describe a means for representing context and goal, and discuss an algorithm to realize context convergence based on this representation. |
