Abstract

In this paper we describe a new distributed collaborative bookmark system, called COWING (for COllaborative Web IndexING system). The goal of the COWING system is to provide a group of organized users with a computerized-support that enable them to share their experiences in managing their bookmark repositories. The COWING system is composed of a set of assistant agents, called WINGS, and a central agent that manages the user’s organization. A WING agent assists each user. This agent performs two main tasks: learning the user’s strategy in classifying her/his bookmarks and interacting with other WING agents in order to fetch new bookmarks that match the local user information need.
