In addition, we are exploring the use of techniques from game theory, market models, and artificial life. This project is developing a software agent that finds people who have never met, but share similar interests, and introduces them to each other. Such introductions can automatically form interest groups and coalitions, and can be used to locate someone knowledgeable in a particular area. Each participating user runs a copy of the agent, and these individual copies find each other as appropriate on the network and begin the introduction process. The eventual goal is ubiquitous deployment across the Internet.
People have notoriously bad memories.
We forget where we left our keys, people's names, and simple directions. Computers, on the other hand, almost never forget the information they store. This project is creating agents that help augment human memory. We are exploring remembrance agents which can run on desktop computers for work-related applications as well as agents running on wearable computers for daily life. One problem with GP is that is only works on small problems.
