Hi Robin ( cc: Michel , Sam  )...

I m finding some really interesting links !

I ll paste some below!

I find agent based computing as being an interesting field in which to find
existing understanding which can be transported into p2p approaches  :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent-based_model

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-agent_system


---------

What is important for me, is that the users can themselves add data into the
system, and interact with it,
hence every participant becomes an agent ! And not only some artificial
intelligence system working on p2p agent computing principles.

Hence a form of emergent intelligence, combining ict with human intelligence
( this has a name, I forgot how it is called ),
hence being an interface.

I find this pdf of absolute great interest !!!
 Agent Technology: Computing as Interaction
http://www.agentlink.org/roadmap/al3rm.pdf

this other old ppt presentation gives an idea of the direction of a "goal
oriented" multi agent approach :

And when related to p2p and trust ( perhaps Robin's model could offer
solutions ):

Applying Trust Mechanisms in an agent-based P2P Network of Service Providers
and Requestors

http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/doi/10.1109/CCGRID.2006.123

 Building an agent-based network of service providers and requestors
requires the effective management of the interactions among peers. These
interactions, as in real life, require the mutual trust of the peers
participating in a negotiation process. Trust quantification is a complex
process that involves many parameters. Applying trust mechanisms in a P2P
network is essential for guarantee the trustworthiness of participating
peers and eventually the success of the negotiation. In this paper, we
propose an agent-based community-centric P2P organization of service
providers, clients and intermediaries that effectively and securely
collaborate with each other, by considering common context in their
negotiations, to discover trustworthy request-relevant services. The paper
defines the formalisms for: 1) the roles of peers, and 2) the trust model
which considers peers? reputation and secure message exchanges.

and an examples of existing softwares for multi agent systems.

One of them seems to be called "Jade", but seems to be proprietary and does
not have all tools that seem to be needed

JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment framework) is a middleware for the development
of applications, both in the mobile and fixed environment, based on the
Peer-to-Peer intelligent autonomous agent approach. JADE enables developers
to implement and deploy multi-agent systems, including agents running on
wireless networks and limited-resource devices.
