MOCHA
is a multi-agent system for "Anyware" communications and
display--a mobile communications network that runs on any
platform and reaches users anywhere. Using MOCHA, human
users create personal agents who perform tasks that humans
could not otherwise accomplish.
MOCHA
provides a seamless, single interface for users who access
a complex array of agent technology. Users are presented
with a familiar, form-based interface to create personal
agents. Customized user preferences form the basis of agent
interactions to carry out tasks. Personal agents locate
and contact other users, and help plan and schedule collaborative
tasks with the personalized agents of other users.
With
the benefit of personalized agents, users are provided with
a single mechanism that leaves the mutliple sources for
contact up to the personalized agent itself. The agent decides
on method of delivery based on agent knowledge of sender
and receiver preferences and device availability.
MOCHA's
"Anyware" communications and display technology also means
that information can be displayed on any device in any location.
Information can be displayed wherever the user goes, and
on any available display platform.
