Student Abstracts

With the amount of information available rapidly outstripping the ability of individuals to use it, we wish to explore how a software agent can learn a description of an information resource (such as a database on the internet) in order turn it into a well-understood tool at the agent’s disposal. An agent who could do this would have access to all the information it could find without having to cache the internet.
