Abstract

Web portals have a huge importance on today's Internet. Their purpose is to serve as an entry point to information on the Web, by proposing search and classification related services. The usefulness of a Web portal depends directly on the quality of service it offers. This paper presents the SIMAT architecture which exploits a backbone of machines running a secure mobile agent platform to improve quality of service. The agents are programmed to reduce the latency of information retrieval and to support the personalization and security of information search requests.
