Abstract

The Internet has become widely used in many countries. In particular, a new emerging technology, the WWW (World Wide Web), which has become a major application of the Internet, has been rapidly developed. As a result, there are hundreds of millions of URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) on the WWW, and the total number of URLs is still explosively increasing. To get information from the WWW, we generally use Internet search engines. However, we cannot always get the actual information we want. Accordingly, we have solved this problem by constructing a prototype system based on agents by programming language Java for constructing a more effective search engine. This so-called “intelligent agent system on WWW” deletes redundant HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) files and exchanges information about the existence of URLs. And we found that our prototype system is more powerful and effective than conventional search engines.
