ABSTRACT

The main focus of this paper is to show the concepts, architectures, interaction techniques, and general approaches to the analysis and specification of a multi–agent system for the making of intelligence and interactive decisions inside the learner's learning process. These contributions are applied in the development of an integrated system for Web–based education with powerful adaptivity for the management, authoring, delivery and monitoring of learning content.

Keywords: Web–Based Education, multi–agent system, Semantic Web.

 

RESUMEN

El enfoque principal de este artículo es mostrar los conceptos, arquitecturas, técnicas de interacción y enfoques generales para el análisis y especificación de un sistema multi–agente para toma de decisiones inteligentes e interactivas dentro del proceso de aprendizaje del estudiante. Estas contribuciones se aplican en el desarrollo de un sistema integrado para la educación basada en Web, con gran adaptabilidad para la administración, autoría, entrega y monitoreo del contenido de aprendizaje.

Palabras clave: Educación basada en Web, sistema multiagente, Web semántica.
