Abstract

This paper reports on an ongoing research on developing a multi-agent system architecture for distributed computer-based tutoring systems environment. This system acts as a mediator between the user and the tutoring environment. The system architecture consists of several software agents that are cooperatively interact with each other to find and process the tutoring materials and then disseminate it to the users or other software agents. A prototype of this environment is being implemented to demonstrate its feasibility.
