Abstract
The White Rabbit system intends to enhance cooperation among a group of people by analyzing their conversation. Each user is assisted by an intelligent agent which establishes a profile of his or her interests. Next, with its autonomous and mobile behavior, the agent will reach the personal agents of other users to be introduced and presented to the ones that seem to have similar interests. A mediator agent is used to facilitate communication among personal agents and to perform clustering on the profiles that they have collected. Conversation between users takes place in a chat environment adapted to the needs of the system.
