Abstract :
In this paper we investigate the applicability of the multi agent paradigm to the realization of a distributed software system suitably designed for MPEG video segmentation. This task is performed by combining video and audio information at different levels. We present a general discussion of the characteristics of multi agents, showing how they satisfy the needs of the quoted video segmentation problem and we introduce the architecture of a prototypical implementation.
