Agent-Based Web Engineering

Abstract

Technological evolution of the Internet world is fast and constant. Successful systems should have the capacity to adapt to it and should be provided with mechanisms that allow them to decide what to do according to such changes. This paper shows how an autonomous intelligent agent can be used to develop web-based systems with the requirements of today users. Internet applications should be reactive, proactive, and autonomous and have to be capable of adapting to changes in its environment and in the user behavior. The technological proposal presented in the paper also facilitates the interoperability and scalability of distributed systems.
