Abstract/Summary

The field of artificial intelligence, particularly on intelligent agents, is one of the busiest these past decades. These agents can greatly simplify the normal, day-to-day tasks of humans by performing these tasks themselves without human intervention. However, the construction of agents requires an understanding of advanced technologies such as knowledge representation, inferencing, and the like.

One of the most common responsibilities of any person is to convene meetings and to set appointments. However, these tasks can be very tedious and time-consuming because most often than not, meetings need to be cancelled or rescheduled for various reasons. In the corporate world where time is of the utmost importance, these seemingly menial jobs could waste a lot of precious resources.

CONCAT is a calendar system which utilizes the power of collaborative agents in order to set schedules and to resolve schedule conflicts in a distributed environment. It allows the user to set appointments with other users, as well as remind him of any upcoming appointments. It also has a rule editor for programming the behavior of the agents. Additionally, CONCAT also provides an agent editor where the user can construct his own agents with a totally different function."
