Abstract
This chapter is the third chapter in the Part I of the book. It is also the basis for Chapter 7 and 8, as shown in the shaded area of Fig. 4.1. This chapter will briefly investigate basic features and architectures of intelligent agents, intelligent brokers, and multiagent systems (MASs). It also examines the relationship between intelligent agents and expert systems (ESs) as well as MASs, in which a knowledge-based model of integrating ESs in MAS is proposed. Then it proposes a multiagent-based architecture for information brokering as an example of the architecture of MAS, which can help customers to access information on the Internet.
