2 Existing Auto-Responders Mail Clients can act as auto-responders when people are unreachable, as illustrated by “Vacation Programs” Mail Clients can act as auto-responders when people are unreachable, as illustrated by “Vacation Programs” Other auto-responders engage users in interaction sequences, e.g. to check user identity when subscribing/unsubscribing to/from a mailing list Other auto-responders engage users in interaction sequences, e.g. to check user identity when subscribing/unsubscribing to/from a mailing list Rule Responder extends such auto- responders to intelligent, distributed rule systems such as for symposium planning Rule Responder extends such auto- responders to intelligent, distributed rule systems such as for symposium planning

3 Overview of Rule Responder Rule Responder is a p rototypical multi-agent system for virtual communities Rule Responder is a p rototypical multi-agent system for virtual communities Supports rule-based collaboration between the distributed members of community Supports rule-based collaboration between the distributed members of community Members are assisted by semi-automated rule-based agents, which use rules to describe the decision and behavioral logic Members are assisted by semi-automated rule-based agents, which use rules to describe the decision and behavioral logic

4 Deployed Use Case: Symposium Planner RuleML-20xy Symposia RuleML-20xy Symposia An organizational agent acts as the single point of entry to assist with symposium planning: An organizational agent acts as the single point of entry to assist with symposium planning: Currently, query answering about the symposium Currently, query answering about the symposium Ultimately, preparing and running the symposium Ultimately, preparing and running the symposium Personal agents have supported symposium chairs since 2007 (deployed as Q&A in 2008) Personal agents have supported symposium chairs since 2007 (deployed as Q&A in 2008)Q&A General Chair, Program Chair, Panel Chair, Publicity Chair, etc. General Chair, Program Chair, Panel Chair, Publicity Chair, etc.

5 Personal Agents Each PA acts as a Personal Assistant to a human in the organization Each PA acts as a Personal Assistant to a human in the organization These agents are softbots that help you in working and networking These agents are softbots that help you in working and networking You define the rules how your agent shall assist you You define the rules how your agent shall assist you In our deployed use case, symposium chairs are assisted by PAs In our deployed use case, symposium chairs are assisted by PAs

6 Organizational Agent The Organizational Agent interconnects all the Personal Agents in our Star-Like Rule Responder Architecture The Organizational Agent interconnects all the Personal Agents in our Star-Like Rule Responder Architecture The OA channels the right information to the right agent at the right time The OA channels the right information to the right agent at the right time The OA acts as a Mediator, Middleman, or Facilitator The OA acts as a Mediator, Middleman, or Facilitator In our deployed use case, the OA contains general policies & regulations of the RuleML-2008 Symposium In our deployed use case, the OA contains general policies & regulations of the RuleML-2008 Symposium

7 External Agents External agents supports clients outside your organization who want to interact with the organization External agents supports clients outside your organization who want to interact with the organization An External Agent links clients with the OA of your organization An External Agent links clients with the OA of your organization The OA will find for them the right PA and Expert for each problem at hand The OA will find for them the right PA and Expert for each problem at hand Mediated by the OA, the Expert, their PA, or both together will solve your problem Mediated by the OA, the Expert, their PA, or both together will solve your problem
