Multimodal Information Systems

The number of individuals using public transportation is increasing. Transport companies want to ensure, at best, the satisfaction of the travellers. Nevertheless, a significant number of these companies sometimes pushes the travellers to confusion to compose their itineraries and obtain the required information. The authors suggest in this chapter integrating several traveller information systems into the same global system. This chapter aims to provide information to the traveller without concern for their location and optimize processing by limiting the number of involved nodes. They opted for a multi-agent system associated with the Voronoï decomposition of the global network.

Abstract The number of people using public transport is continuously increasing. Transport companies want to fulfil travellers’ expectations wherever possible. However, the great number of public transport companies operating in the same area can sometimes confuse travellers as to which route they should take and how to obtain the information relative to their journey. In this paper we suggest integrating several traveller information systems from different companies into the same multimodal information system, offering companies the choice not to share their data. This encourages them to join the system. Additionally, we have minimised the number of nodes involved when processing travellers’ requests in order to simplify the calculation process. To put our plan into action, we have opted for a multi-agent system coupled with the Voronoi decomposition for managing the network.

The paper presents the implementation of system for access to the information in distributed information- telecommunication environment with heterogeneous databases using multi-agent approach. Different ways for multi- agent system construction were considered. It was developed a scheme of interaction between agents in the proposed system. The approach aims to improve the efficiency of data access in heterogeneous information systems without the necessity to change them.

E-government processes need transparency in order to allow citizens to understand and access valuable information in a democratic society. In this article, we present a multi-agent system (MAS) to process distribution that implements transparency characteristics. We demonstrate that the MAS paradigm stresses the organizational operating environment and the information systems alignment, being adequate to maintain process transparency. An agent-oriented software development methodology is used to define the soft goals of agents according to Tropos. The MAS architecture and the prototype were defined, implemented and illustrated with lawsuits distribution data from the Superior Labor Court of Brazil.
