  • Chapter
Intelligent Agents in the Evolution of Web and Applications

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 167))

Abstract

A new Agents and Components Oriented Architecture for the development of adaptive and intelligent Web-Based Education systems is presented. This architecture is divided into client and server parts to facilitate adaptability in various configurations such as online, offline and mobile scenarios. This architecture shows an implementation of adaptability and intelligent technology in the development of authoring and evaluation tools, which are oriented to offer application level interoperability under the philosophy of Web Services.
