Welcome to Korns Associates (..our agents make money investing...) Introducing: Korns Associates. Our Investment Agents. Our Business Model. Our Agent Technology. Research Publications using AIS

Korns Associates is a privately held applied research company that develops sophisticated agent technology, development tools, and applications. It was founded in June 1993, and has pioneered the use of "intelligent agents" for securities investing using a business model wherein its research is self-funding.

Korns Associates principal research interest lies in the application of "intelligent agents" to automating mutual-fund-style securities investing. In a traditional mutual fund business, a staff of human traders are continuously evaluated based on their one year, three year, five year, and ten year performance histories. The best performing human traders receive an increasing share of the mutual fund's assets to manage. The worst performing human traders, well ...

Korns Associates business model is applied research powered by proprietary investing profits. As an applied research group, Korns Associates searches the academic community looking for new Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies which might be applied to securities investing. Promising new technologies are implemented in Deep Green as investing agents which will compete for stock market profits in the virtual "survival of the fittest" environment. At each stage of its development, Deep Green is used to rank securities as investment selections in the Korns Associates Real Money Balanced Investing Account. Profits from this proprietary investing activity are used to fund futher Deep Green application development.

Korns Associates has pioneered the development of Analytic Information Server?, an integrated knowledge management tool. This agent oriented database technology represents a significant step forward in the use of "Intelligent Agents" in integrating both existing and new distributed applications with "Adaptive Intelligence".

Analytic Information Server has aided a number of scientists in valuable peer reviewed research.
Here are the links to a number of peer reviewed scientific research papers for which AIS has provided either subject material, tools, or valuable assistance. All of these papers are published in peer reviewed scientific journals or peer reviewed books. These papers have receives hundreds of citations.
