Abstract
This position statement identifies a number of future applications of multi-agent systems based on information trading economies for large-scale, file-sharing applications. To achieve mass user support, we identify the key requirement for the realisation of such applications as the representation and management of individual digital rights. We outline an academic-industrial, Anglo-Japanese research programme fusing a number of base platforms and technologies, whose long-term goal is the development of full-scale applications.
