Developing Multi-Agent based Advising and Booking System for Transportation in Pathein

Abstract

Information in today’s business environment has become the prime ingredient of a successful business enterprise. With growth in distributed computing, Internet, WWW, e-commerce, etc…, more and more applications must operate in open system, where the components change over time, and there is a lot of information available from multiple sources, much of it unstructured. The use of agent technology is a very useful tool to find a solution to everyday problems in order to improve the quality of life of people. The agent paradigm let us create system which can offer complex and sophisticated services to different users. Multi-Agent System (MAS) architectures now appear to be more appropriate than traditional ones for building latest generation software that is typically concurrent, distributed and dynamic. In this paper, an implementation of advising and booking system based on multi-agent for transportation services on the internet will be proposed. This system consists of railway, roadway and waterway transportation. If user want to book for these transportations, the user selects only the destination place, the information agent can find the available transporters (such as by train, by bus) to travel this place. This system will help the user to find required information and to booking departure tickets from Pathein. The system provides assistance to the users in travelling by bus, train, ship through agent user interaction. This system implemented by using XML,J2EE and MySQL server 5.0.
