Abstract
This paper presents Intelligent Travel Planning (ITP), a multiagent planning system to solve Web electronic problems in the Web, whose main goal is to search for useful solutions in the electronic-Tourism domain to system users. The system uses different types of intelligent autonomous agents whose main characteristics are cooperation, negotiation, learning, planning and knowledge sharing. Obviously the information used by the intelligent agents is heterogeneous and geographically distributed, since the main information source of the system is Internet. Other information sources are agent knowledge bases in the distributed system. The process to obtain, filter, and store the information is performed automatically by agents. This information is translated into a homogeneous format for high-level reasoning in order to obtain different partial solutions. Partial solutions are reconstructed into a general solution (or solutions) to be presented to the user. The system will show a set of solutions to the users that can be evaluated by them.
