Abstract
The original Web did not support multiuser, interactive applications. This shortcoming is being studied, and several approaches have been proposed to use the Web as a platform for programming Internet applications. However, most existing approaches are oriented to centralized applications at servers, or local programs within clients. To overcome this deficit, we introduce PageSpace, that is a reference architecture for designing interactive multiagent applications. We describe how we control agents in PageSpace, using variants of the coordination language Linda to guide their interactions. Coordination technology is integrated with the standard Web technology and the programming language Java. Several kinds of agents live in the PageSpace: user interface agents, personal homeagents, agents that implement applications, and agents which interoperate with legacy systems. Within our architecture, it is possible to support fault-tolerance and mobile agents as well.
