Research Abstract

Problems of the Internet age such as digital divide and insecurity of privacy prevent many people from seeing the benefit of the Internet. To solve the problems, this study proposes a concept of a symbiotic computing and formalizes it as a multi-agent system that interacts with a specific user using perceptual functions to recognize the user's motion and aspects. Second, we prototyped a mutual cognition functions based on the model.
