碩士 === 淡江大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 88 === The internet enables a computer user to be connected to virtually endless numbers of sites on the network. Massive amount of information is being pumped into the internet at a great rate around the clock. The World-Wide-Web (WWW) uses the internet to transmit hypermedia documents between computer users located around the world. Computer users only use a simple browser software (ie: Internet Explorer, Netscape) to view the hypermedia documents on a website. Large amount of interesting and valuable information has been made available on the web for retrieval, but these hypermedia documents are not often origanized and systematic. In order to fully utilize the power of the WWW as a gigantic information source, it is essential to develop intelligent software systems on top of the web to assist users to retrieve relevant documents. In this paper, we propose an architecture of the intelligent browsing agent and identify the key components of it. This agent is designed on a website and serves its members. This intelligent browsing agent can analyze the users` browsing behaviors to find their interesting topics and browsing patterns. Then it can assist users to browse the website by recommend users` interesting documents. In addition to, the agent can monitor to new information on the website to find any documents which users interest. If the agent find new information which users interest, it can ask the users to browse the website by e-mail. So the intelligent browsing agent can help the website to keep old browsing users and attract new people to visit the website.
