  <description><![CDATA[Many Internet failures are caused by misconﬁgurations of the BGP routers that manage routing of trafﬁc between domains. The problems are usually due to a combination of human errors and the lack of a high-level language for specifying routing policies that can be used to generate router conﬁgurations.

During the past decade a "software agents" paradigm has

components enabling developers to create intelligent software agents capable of understanding
and processing information and knowledge encoded in DAML and other semantically rich
markup languages. The project was led by Tim Finin (UMBC), who served as the PI, CO-PI Jim
Mayfield (JHU) and CO-PI Benjamin Grosof (MIT). The work had three main research thrusts:
exploring and evaluating how semantic web t...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Web search engines such as Google have made people "smarter" by making knowledge readily available whenever we need to look up a fact, evaluate options or learn about a topic. The Semantic Web effort aims to make such knowledge accessible to computer programs by encoding it on the web in machine interpretable form using RDF and OWL. As the volume of RDF encoded knowledge on the Web grows, software agents will need their own search engines to help them find the relevant and trustworthy knowled...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The Semantic Web promised to enable a new generation of intelligent applications by providing programs and software agents with rich and effective ways to share information and knowledge. The Semantic Web allows people and groups to define sharable ontologies - collections of classes, properties, and objects - with well-defined and unambiguous meaning. These ontologies permit computer programs to read, publish, and exchange information and knowledge, enhancing interoperability, cooperation, a...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Swoogle is a system that helps knowledge engineers and software agents find knowledge on the web encoded in the semantic web languages RDF and OWL.  Based on the search mechanisms provided in the previous version, we propose a novel semantic web navigation model and refine mechanisms for ranking the semantic web at various granularities. Although the semantic web is materialized on the Web, it is hard to navigate within the semantic web since few explicit ``hyperlinks\'\' are available beside...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The Semantic Web provides a way to encode information and knowledge on web pages in a form that is easier for computers to understand and process.  This article discusses the issues underlying the discovery, indexing and search over web documents that contain semantic web markup. Unlike conventional Web search engines, which use information retrieval techniques designed for documents of unstructured text, Semantic Web search engines must handle documents comprised of semi-structured data.

  <description><![CDATA[The software agents paradigm has received considerable research but has not yet found broad application. The vision is still sound and will be re-invigorated by two new developments: semantic web languages, which provide stronger knowledge sharing technology, and the emergence of pervasive computing environments, whose requirements match the strengths of multiagent systems.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The concept of an agent is ubiquitous in Computer Science. During the past decade, a "software agents" paradigm has emerged, which views agents as autonomous, cooperating processes that use expressive communication languages to exchange information and knowledge and to coordinate their activities. This has been seen as a way to capitalize on opportunities (and solve many problems) created by the Internet and the Web. Yet the technology has not yet left our laboratories.
