“…These agents will analyze the access logs, popularity of documents and keywords, as well as other information collected by search spider and evolutionary links panel and make human-like advices regarding the content and navigation within the websites. It is important that nowadays we are technically capable to implement human-like 'characters' within the context of web interfaces [8] so we are on the path to creation of a new kind of WWW, more user-friendly and intelligent.…”

Web portals are often created to unite and classify information from different web sources in order to satisfy the needs of particular group of internet/intranet users. The main difficulty arising due to maintenance of such portals is that it requires certain time and labour inputs. The other task to solve is to provide users with adaptive interfaces to recognize their interests and help them find and filter the required information.An innovative approach is proposed represented by a combination of search engine elements and an evolutionary algorithm for the navigational interface of the links panel. The system is implemented as a web-based application.

“…Information and communication technology (ICT), having the Internet and network‐centric computing as its backbone, has laid a firm foundation for experimentation with e‐learning. As a result, the traditional learning paradigms have been stretched through electronic and web technologies into new learning models that are dynamic in nature (Abbattista, Paradiso, Semeraro & Zambetta, 2004; Geyer & Effelsberg, 1997; Houtsonen, Kankaanrinta & Rehven, 2004; Rafaeli, Barak, Dan‐Gur & Toch, 2004). The proliferation of education material on the Internet is progressing in unison with e‐commerce and other information services.…”

Current distance learning systems are increasingly packing highly dataintensive contents on servers, resulting in the congestion of network and server resources at peak service times. A distributed learning system based on faded information field (FIF) architecture that employs mobile agents (MAs) has been proposed and simulated in this work. The learning contents are decentralised in the proposed system, and these are dynamically distributed around the main education site server on different nodes in response to network congestion and server overload. The system simulation results have been presented and analysed. The proposed system holds the potential to address the network congestion and server-overload problems in distance learning systems.

“…The user's ratings of pages are used to grow the user's profile adaptively, so that the recommendations gradually become more personalized. Abbattista et al proposed a 3D agent-based intelligent interaction system that can be hosted on a web site to support users in a natural way [2]. The agent classifies users based on information drawn from previous sessions.…”
