Abstract

The agent programming approach can be beneficial for many new applications on the World Wide Web. We propose a novel agent workspace on the client side for hosting Web agents downloaded from different Web servers—the “Secure Client Agent Environment” (SCAE). This user-centred marketplace facilitates collaboration among Web agents, Web servers and the user. In our agent-based framework, domain-based security servers and authorisation tokens are used to complete the trust links between the client and various Web servers dynamically.
