Abstract

We describe our concept of an active Web, namely how we design the software architecture of interactive cooperative applications based on the WWW. An active Web includes agents able to use the services offered by WWW clients and servers. In an active Web, both users and agents can interoperate using a set of basic services for communication and synchronization. The active Web we describe here is based on coordination technology: we explore two alternative implementations, one based on a platform called Paradise and another fully based on Java
