Abstract

A web site presents an intrinsic graph–like spatial structure defined by pages connected by hyperlinks. This structure may represent an environment on which reactive situated agents related to visitors of the web site are positioned and move in order to track their navigation. To consider this structure and to keep track of these movements allows the monitoring of the site and visitors, and supports the enhancement of the site itself through forms of adaptivity, by means of a specific interface agent. This paper presents an agent based model supporting the collection of information related to user's behaviour in a web site, and an application supporting the proposal of hyperlinks based on the history of user's movement in the web site environment.
