Dynamic Group Workflow Collaboration Using Agent-Based Asynchronous and Fault-Tolerant System

Intelligent Agents on the Web are ideal vehicle to create 'semantic Web' - or Web that has inherent and flexible business logic available to its users. The effort of this proposal is focused on achieving this goal using the methodology and softwaredeveloped in Phase I and expanding both the methodology and software with new commercial extensions and features (such as XML, Jini/WAP, ODBC, etc.) as well as with new concepts of Agent computing on the Web (such as fully enabled inter-workgroupTranslator Agents, reusable Agent Templates and Natural Agent Connectivity). Another goal is to present these features to less programming savvy users, and at the end enable building Agent-based Web applications with little or no knowledge of underlyingsystem or technical issues involved. At the same time the system would give easy plug-in-tool for third party developers to create usable 'building block' which ordinary users would see as GUI elements they can drag and drop.
