Abstract
There is a growing belief that the next generation of information processing systems will be based on the paradigm of Intelligent and Cooperative Information Systems (ICISs). Such systems will involve information agents — distributed over the nodes of a common communication network — which work in a synergistic manner by exchanging information and expertise, coordinating their activities and negotiating how to solve parts of a common information-intensive problem. Along with motivating the importance of such systems the paper gives an overview of related research areas, notably Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) and Distributed Databases (DDBs), and presents a generic architecture which views an ICIS as a community of communicating and cooperating intelligent information agents.Keywords
