Design and implementation of multi-agent environment for Internet information retrieval service

As the volume of Internet information has been increasing, an Internet retrieval agent is studied to offer an individualized or specialized retrieval engine according to the user´s preference and purpose and to overcome the weak points existing in retrieval engines. In order to elevate the recall and precision of a retrieval engine and simultaneously to get effective results, the existing retrieval engine should be moduled enabling effective distribution and multi-processing. Through this process user preference should be reflected on the retrieval result. In this study we transformed the Mirine system (made by PNU) into the base system of the agent and constructed the retrieval agent environment for distribution, multi processing, and real searching
