Title: A CONCEPTUAL DISTANCE LEARNING ARCHITECTURE USING SEMANTIC WEB BASED MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
Keywords: distance learning architecture, education system, ontology
Abstract: In this paper, a conceptual distance learning architecture based on a semantic web enabled multi-agent platform is introduced.

These agents are then used to query, negotiate and cooperate with other agents to organize tasks and inform their users.
