Issues in Task-Based Matching (I)
A single agent can perform a wide range of tasks
- Currently, agents can do at most a handful (i.e., one)
- Nominate alternative agents
Flexible invocation
- A request to ìRegister for local conferenceî is treated by a PA as ìArrange travel to a meetingî
Invocations of other agents
- Advertise delegation to other agents, consultations to get additional information
Describing peopleís capabilities
- Project assistants as ìeverything agentsî (information agents, matching services, proxies of travel agents, etc.)
