Autonomous software agent technology and multi database systems (MDBS) are two highly interrelated fields of' study. They are both studies on distributed systems with the former focusing on jirncfion and the latter on data. Autonomy is one of' the main goals pursued We wish to provide an illustrative example of a MDBS design that works within an agent environment. The analysis of specijic problems usually throws much light to the generic problems at large and we hope to demonstrate the key advantages of bringing research in agent and MDBS together within the conte,rt of the practical domain of stock hroking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
