Searching the Web via Mobile Agents

We describe an approach to information retrieval and filtering on the Web based on mobile agents technology, allowing users to be disconnected from the net while the query is being resolved by some agents. We reduce the space solution of queries by including some knowl2 edge in the code of the agents, making users save time in searching ttle Web. These ideas are implemented in a prototype called MAWS (Mobile Agents for Web Searching).
