A computer method and system for storing, retrieving and displaying information has a multiplexing agent () that calculates a new document vector () for a new document () to be added to the system and transmits the new document vector () to master cluster agents () and cluster agents () for evaluation. These agents () perform the evaluation and return values upstream to the multiplexing agent () based on the similarity of the document to documents stored under their control. The multiplexing agent () then sends the document () and the document vector () to the master cluster agent (), which then forwards it to a cluster agent () or creates a new cluster agent () to manage the document (). The system also searches for stored documents according to a search query having at least one term and identifying the documents found in the search, and displays the documents in a clustering display () of similarity so as to indicate similarity of the documents to each other.

Agent-based method for distributed clustering of textual information

A computer method of gathering and summarizing large amounts of information comprises collecting information from a plurality of information sources () according to respective maps () of the information sources (), converting the collected information from a storage format to XML-language documents () and storing the XML-language documents in a storage medium, searching for documents () according to a search query () having at least one term and identifying the documents () found in the search, and displaying the documents as nodes () of a tree structure () having links () and nodes () so as to indicate similarity of the documents to each other.
