title = "Hierarchical multi-agent organization for text database discovery",
abstract = "Agent approaches has been increasingly used within information technology to describe various computational entities. Especially due to the proliferation of readily available text databases on the Web agents have been often developed as the computational entities for discovering useful text databases on the Web. In this paper, we motivate the need for the hierarchical organization of those agents. The motivation is based on our experiences with the neural net agents for the text database discovery and an analysis of the tradeoff between the benefit of the hierarchical organization of agents and multi-agent coordination overhead. We first introduce the neural net agent and then motivate our multi-agent approach based on the hierarchical organization of neural net agents both analytically and experimentally.",
