Outline of Final Research Achievements

A Symbiotic Agent is a multi-agent system that is persistent and provides advises, information and services for a user based on understanding user's requirements and intentions by observing user's actions in his/her daily life. The Symbiotic Agent acquires information of a user and his/her environment using various sensors imbedded in daily life spaces, and finds relationships between recognized action patterns and typical requirements and intentions, and finally, it provides a service according to the recognition for a user.
A working platform of the multi-agent system of a Symbiotic Agent is installed separately at a cloud server and at an edge network that connects to sensors and displays. A meeting support system in a smart office that is supported by a prototype of a Symbiotic Agent was conduced with a collaborator at University of Technology of Compiegne France.
