What are MySpiders?
MySpiders is a java applet that uses intelligent, autonomous, adaptive software agents to search the Internet on behalf of the user for information about the user’s query. MySpiders complement, rather than replace, traditional search engines, by locating recent documents that may not have been indexed by search engines yet. The system is inspired by artificial life models that view the web as an ecological environment in which agents can compete for relevant sources of information, learning from experience and reproducing when they are successful or dying when they run out of luck. MySpiders are a limited prototype implementation of the InfoSpiders project. For more detailed information go to the InfoSpiders page.
