In this paper, we discuss the various issues indesigning intelligent software systems to assist worldwide-web users in locating relevant information. Weidentify a number of key components in such intelligentsystems. These include a web document databasemanagement system, a client-based goal-directed searchengine, an intelligent learning agent which discoversusers' topics of interest by studying their browsingbehavior, and an intelligent agent which monitors "hot"web sites. We give examples and suggestions on howthese components are designed and implemented. Wealso describe the architecture of a prototype system thatintegrates the various components.
