Resumen:
When certain enterprise domain needs to make an unusual decision, it will
probably require new kind of information. If the interaction model among domains
cannot be defined because the decision scenarios are unpredictable, the system itself
must search the required information analyzing where it is available, or can be
generated. To do that, it is necessary to design a mechanism able to decide where to
look for the information.We have developed a distributed DSS able to work in a
dynamic way. This system is based on the use of mobile agents, which receive the user´s
queries and visit the DSS domains gathering the required information. One of the main
elements to the efficient operation of this system is the Router Agent. Its responsibility
is to give an adequate route to the mobile agents. In this paper we propose a structure
for the Router Agent. It includes a Knowledge Base where the information managed by
each domain is represented, and a mechanism to compare the query content with the
domain representation. We also present an interactive strategy to obtain the initial data
to be stored in the Router Knowledge Base. The AHP method is used to support the task
of evaluating the relative importance among terms representing each domain.
