Summary : Software agents act on behalf of / in collaboration with a physical person or entity in an information system. As the GAIA reference model defines three roles / entities (customer, broker, supplier), three types of software agents were investigated, each one acting on behalf of / in collaboration with each entity of the GAIA reference model: - Interaction Agent: principle task: to assist the user interact with the brokerage system; - Metadata Collector Agent: principle task: to collect information about metadata in the domain of technical data from suppliers' Web sites and mailing lists; - Alerting Agent: principle task: to identify information items that are of interest to users and notify them according to their preferences; The two latter types of software agents were contractual obligations of the consortium and have been developed and trialled by GAIA. The first type of agent, while not a contractual obligation of the consortium, was investigated, and partially developed within the project, while the relevant research work has been very successful in terms of research publications in refereed conferences and journals. The University of the Aegean is interested in AI and HCI research and the interaction agents field is one of particular interest to us. We are continuing the development of a generic interaction agent design toolkit and we are open to collaboration with other research institutions interested in applying intelligent software agent research to practical problems and proving their commercial value. The information provided in this document refers to the interaction agent and the alerting agent which have been developed and are being exploited by the University of the Aegean.
