Abstract
We propose an agent community model for investigating workers and jobs on open computer networks. We call it the LOJ/LOT model, and it is a multi-agent model that provides a knowledge-intensive community like a market for human resources. This model also includes social interactions for getting jobs. LOJ and LOT stand for “look for jobs” and “look for talent (worker)”, respectively. The LOJ/LOT model has three characteristics as follows. (1) Agents recruit workers or jobs on an open space on the Internet. All users who want workers or jobs can use these agents that have several recruiting tactics and specific requirements for workers or jobs. (2) Agents can ask other agents for information about job contract partners. The information is gathered through social interactions, and is safely kept. (3) If matchmaking fails, agents introduce other candidates using social links created from e-mail, Web page links, chat logs and so on. There are two major problems in providing the service of worker and job hunting with this model. These are legal issue and a privacy issue. If we settle these problems, Digital City will grow with the business and regional community. In the future, Digital City will be able to connect the real world to the virtual world on the Internet.
