Fuzzy Music Query Retrievals from the Web Using Mobile Agents

Abstract. Internet is one of the most popular technologies that allow users to retrieve information from the Web. However, with the increasing number of web sites and music information have resulted poor perfor-mances in retrieving the relevant information. Non-formal English lan-guage web pages has also caused difficulties by the users in retrieving the relevance information from the Web. In this paper, we propose a Fuzzy Music Query Retrieval (FMQR) system based on mobile agent technol-ogy to support users in retrieving relevant music information form the Web. The main purpose of using mobile agent is to reduce network traf-fic. Whereas, the fuzzy sets theory is used to apply in fuzzy matching the music files that have higher degree of relevance to be retrieved by the system. From the experiments, the effectiveness of the fuzzy sets the-ory has been able to increase the degree of relevance on the music files retrieved by the mobile agents to be presented to the users.
