Emerging Technology

I sent in a proposal for the Emerging Technology Conference O'Reilly is having in Febuary. I had debated whether or not to send it but finally I took a chance and pressed the Submit button.

I should know whether I'm in or not in about a week.

In a nutshell, my topic was creating an application which utilized both FOAF and Rendezvous in order to create intelligent agents. Others have come up with similar ideas in weblogs but I've only seen one actual implementation and that was something done via the command-line.

I think I'm going to try and build something regardless of whether the proposal is accepted or not.

I'm currently in the process of specifying my diploma thesis, which has to be done in April 2004. And funny enough - its goint to be about building agent application using JADE and crossbreeding it with FOAF. Current proposal is to build Personal agents (living on the mobile device - cellphone or PDA) that will be offering FOAF information. Second part is building services around this distributed knowledge. I'm planing to create comunity tools like book sharing between sci-fi fans and organizing cinema visits. These services will be based on interest groups discovered in FOAF files. Any ideas how we could cooperate or exchange ideas on the topic?

That sounds really cool!! I'm totally open to exchanging ideas. However you want to do that is fine w/ me.

I'm planning on starting to work on this soon whether or not I get the proposal accepted for the conference.

I am currently specifying my diploma thesis which should be finished in April 2004. I am going to create agent based system using JADE (Java Agent Developement Framework) and crossbreed it with FOAF. Idea is to have Personal agents running on mobile devices like cellphones and PDAs that will provide FOAF (?like) information. Then I want to create services based on this distributed data. The plan is to have comunity support services like book sharing for sci-fi fans or organizing cinema evening for people with simillar interests. Is there a way we can share ideas?
