A news on demand service system based on robot agent

Abstract

The World Wide Web has a lot of distributed digital information. When the size of the Web is increased beyond a few sites and a small number of documents, finding information requires time-consuming searching and is too tedious when a user retrieves specific information every day. We propose a news on demand (NOD) service system that gathers daily news information using a robot agent and delivers integrated news to users. Once a user registers his information and preferences, he can get the news information that he is most interested in via multimedia e-mail.
