Abstract

This paper presents AOIS, a multi-agent system that supports the sharing of information among a dynamic community of users connected through the Internet thanks to the use of a well-known DHT-based peer-to-peer platform: BitTorrent. In respect to Web search engines, this system enhances the search through domain ontologies, avoids the burden of publishing the information on the Web and guaranties a controlled and dynamic access to the information. The use of agent technologies has made the realization of three of the main features of the system straightforward: i) filtering of information coming from different users, on the basis of the previous experience of the local user, ii) pushing of some new information that can be of interest for a user, and iii) delegation of access capabilities, on the basis of a reputation network, built by the agents of the system on the community of its users. The use of BitTorrent will allow us to offer the AOIS systems to the hundreds of millions of users that already share documents though the BitTorrent platform.
