“…In this paper we introduce the system SERSE (SEmantic Routing SystEm) and its main functionalities. This paper extends our previous work in this area [8,9] by introducing the autonomic behaviour features exhibited by SERSE and by presenting details of its multi-platform implementation. In the remainder of this paper we describe the system's conceptual architecture and the information flow between the system components.…”

Abstract. This paper presents SERSE -SEmantic Routing SystEm-a distributed multi-agent system composed of specialised agents that provides robust and efficient gathering and aggregation of digital content from diverse resources. The agents composing SERSE use ontological descriptions to search and retrieve semantically annotated knowledge sources, by maintaining a semantic index of the instances of the annotation ontology. The efficient retrieval is made it possible through the semantic routing mechanism, that permits to identify the agent indexing the resources requested by a user query without having to maintain a central index, and by reducing the number of messages broadcasted to the system. The system is also capable of exhibiting autonomic behaviour. Autonomic behaviour is characterised by self configuration and self healing capabilities, aimed at permitting the system to manage the failure of one of its agents and ensure continuous functioning.
