Abstract

In this paper, we present multi-agent information management system, composed of multiple agents .The system is designed for user to access information , update new information and share these information to the other users. A DBA (database agent) provide a common way to access information .It manages the database connection for whole system. Information management system is based on BDI architecture , represents the system more near to the human behaviour. JADE is used to implement the system. Agents communicate with each other by using protocols provided by the JADE.
