Abstract :
WWW servers have to serve many clients simultaneously and thus cannot provide intelligent services. We present an approach where intelligent problem solving is distributed so that compute-expensive tasks are carried out on the client side. To this end, we have implemented a library of constraint satisfaction techniques, called the JAVA constraint library, which allows composing applets that solve CSPs. We present the library and show several examples of applications
