Abstract:

This work is part of the Multicheck Project that defines an architecture of cognitive and independents agents for the automatic treatment of handwritten Brazilian bank checks. The concept of autonomous agents allows us to organize the application knowledge and brings from this approach several own benefits. The choice of this approach is supported in a triple hypothesis. First, the nature of the problem in question allows decomposition in well-defined tasks, and each of them can be encapsulated in an independent agent. Second, the natural capability of interaction of the agents makes the check treatment process more robust, solving situations apparently difficult. Third, the natural parallelism between the agents can contribute to implement an application with high performance.

Keywords: Autonomous Agent, Paraconsistent Logic, Task Distribution.
