“…To this end, Semantic Query Access System (SQAS) (Polajnar et al , 2012(Polajnar et al , , 2014 proposes an innovative distributed agent-oriented architecture with intelligent software agents which develop a domain ontology with their know-how of ontology building process. In SQAS , a user can execute sophisticated semantic queries against an RDB using a customized ontology which is built from the user 's definitions of domain concepts.…”

“…With the background, context, and related work presented in the previous chapter, we now revisit the thesis objectives stated in the Introduction. Essentially, we address the agent-assisted ontology building (AAOB) , as introduced in SQAS (Polajnar et al , 2012(Polajnar et al , , 2014 , from complete multiagent system design perspective, with prototype implementation of key AAOB functions. The overall design of the multiagent system, including the agent team structure and various supporting modules and utilities , is embodied in the architecture of the Ontology Building Multiagent System (OBMAS) .…”

“…The potential for advancement of intelligent decision support through synergy of multiagent and Semantic Web technologies has been recognized and elaborated in the description of the Semantic Query Access System (SQAS) by Polajnar et al (2012Polajnar et al ( , 2014. It envisions an architecture of a distributed system, integrated through agentoriented middleware, with server nodes containing reference ontologies constructed on top of relational databases for relevant knowledge domains, and client nodes that provide user-specific access to servers through a layer of locally developed custom ontology.…”

This thesis investigates how one can design a team of intelligent software agents that helps its human partner develop a formal ontology from a relational database and enhance it with higher-level abstractions. The resulting efficiency of ontology development could facilitate the building of intelligent decision support systems that allow:high-level semantic queries on legacy relational databases; autonomous implementation within a host organization; and incremental deployment without affecting the underlying database or its conventional use. We introduce a set of design principles, formulate the prototype system requirements and architecture, elaborate agent roles and interactions , develop suitable design techniques, and test the approach through practical implementation of selected features. We endow each agent with model metaontology, which enables it to reason and communicate about ontology, and planning meta-ontology, which captures the role-specific know-how of the ontology building method. We also assess the maturity of development tools for a larger-scale implementation. Contents Abstract List of Figures vi Acknowledgements viiiDedication 1x

Good Decision Support Systems require three main features: (i) a good handling of the domain data and information; (ii) an efficient user interface; and (iii) a good knowledge of past decisions. Usually such features are handled by different specialized systems difficult to integrate. In this research we keep specialized systems independent, focusing on interoperability. We propose a system of systems architecture (SoS) integrating a domain system in which users interact, a multi-agent system implementing an efficient user interface and taking into account results from the domain system, and a platform to capitalize and manage knowledge. Our approach extracts indicators from the interaction or behavior of users within the domain system, and provides them analyses, statistics and recommendations to help them reach good decisions. We built a prototype and applied it to two different domains: collaborative software development and healthcare. In this paper, we will focus on the multi-agent system which is a key component of the SoS architecture.
