Abstract Aim of the project ist to investigate non-deterministic algorithms which have practical relevance for defining agents in open system environments. The project will be focused on specific non-deterministic problems occuring in searching, collecting, and integrating information, especially quantitative information, within open system environments. More specifically, the question is to define the behaviour of a information refinery process or agent that acts in a distributed, open environment and delegates specific subtasks to other available information processing agents. Since in an open system environment there is no centralised control, such a cooperation has to deal with non-deterministic behaviour of other agents.
Practical applications arise in the fields of information management, into information processing.
