I remember this post from Sep 29, 1993 17:54 UTC that was cross-posted comp.dcom.isdn.

Hello, I am in the process of formulating possible research projects, and I am looking for some background information in a few areas. I have been interested in artificial intelligence/neural networks for some time, but I have also spent the last few years working in the information retrieval field. Additionally, I am becoming increasingly interested in networking and multi-media technology, as these fields seem to be important for the future. I have been throwing around the idea of autonomous information agents, which are capable of exploring a network in search of information requested by a user. I would like to have such an agent have at least pseudo-ai capabilities. In addition, it should attempt to handle multi-media forms of information. I know vaguely about a few things like gopher, etc. What are the shortcomings of existing systems, and what are possible areas for improvement? Also of interest might be network agents which are capable of arranging teleconferences and scheduling meetings, travel plans, etc. What other kinds of network agents might be of interest? I know that the idea of agents is not completely new, and as a starting point I am looking for any and or all references to work done in the area to date. Also, any spirited discussion on the subject would be interesting. I realize my ideas here are quite vague, but I would like very much to see what the net has to say. I apologize of crossposting this as widely as I have, as I am trying to find the best places to discuss this sort of thing. Please respond either to the net or by e-mail. If you do send me e-mail, please tell me where you read this posting, so I have an idea where the audience is..... Thanks,
