Abstract :
Many problems frustrate WWW users, who suffer limited accessibility to WWW resources, and so the authors propose a two-level agent architecture to try to solve them. The agent consists of two parts: the local agent interacts directly with end-users, while the remote agent interacts primarily with the public Internet. Together they learn user preferences, and help users find and filter information more efficiently, economically, and enjoyably. The paper introduces the concept of the two-level agent, and investigates practical issues involved in further design
