Abstract

The complexity of the global information infrastructure demands new approaches to managing distributed information. The Decentralised Information Ecosystem Technologies (DIET) project has produced a software platform based on a lightweight, scalable, multi-agent system that can be used to support a variety of information management applications that deal with some of this complexity. This paper describes the main components of the DIET software platform, and several examples of its application. It also considers the diversity of potential applications for this technology.
