Abstract :
We present the design and implementation of Web based tools for bio-informatics using an agent based workflow model. In our workflow model, a task or action node can be a software agent. Since software agents are more flexible, more intelligent, and can be customized, they increase the expressiveness and modeling power of a pure workflow model
