Abstract
This paper presents a Multi-Agent based web content categorization system. The system was prototyped using an Agents’ Framework for Internet data collection. The agents employ supervised learning techniques, specifically text learning to capture users preferences. The Framework and its application to E-commerce are described and the results achieve during the IST DEEPSIA project are shown. A detailed description of the most relevant system agents as well as their information flow is presented. The advantages derived from agent’s technology application are conferred.
