A Student Model in a multi-agent intelligent system

Abstract

The paper presents an intelligent tutoring system which provides a Student Model using the “overlay method”. The system’s tasks are distributed among the intelligent agents (software agents), each having clearly specified individual roles as following: administrator (Cerberus Agent); interface (InterfaceAgent); tutor (TutorAgent); student (StudentAgent). Moreover, the system is a “three-tier” architecture application and was implemented in Java language.
