Abstract
W pracy przedstawiono zagadnienie architektury systemu edukacji zdalnej opartej na wieloagentowej sieci. Zapotrzebowanie na taki system wynika z potrzeby automatyzacji codziennej pracy w systemie edukacji zdalnej. Agent zajmuje się automatyzacją tej pracy, stosując powszechne słownictwo zdefiniowane w bazach. Każdy użytkownik ma swojego własnego agenta. Agenci tacy współpracują z innymi agentami w celu organizacji zadań i przekazywania informacji swoim użytkownikom. (abstrakt oryginalny)

In this paper, a conceptual distance learning architecture based on a semantic web enabled multi-agent platform is introduced. The need for such architecture arises to automate every day management tasks of a distance education system. Agents take care of such automation by using a common vocabulary of terms defined in ontologies. The users of the system are each given an agent to act on their behalf. These agents are then used to query, negotiate and cooperate with other agents to organize tasks and inform their users. (original abstract)
