Abstract
Current trends require using a global information environment (infosphere), including end-users and loosely coupled knowledge sources (experts, knowledge bases, repositories, documents, etc.), for decision-making. The vast diversity of the knowledge source management tools has made the problem of knowledge fusion from infosphere’s distributed knowledge sources actual. Knowledge logistics as a new direction of knowledge management assumes presence of fusion processes. The paper is devoted to multi-agent architecture organisation principles and properties of the systems dealing with knowledge fusion from distributed knowledge sources.
