Aspects to keep in mind for the ideal Ubiquitous Web Information Retrieval Solution based on Agents

The rapid and uncontrolled growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) imposes severe constraints when meeting the diverse needs of today‘s information society. The main challenge resides on: location, retrieval, integration and coherent presentation of quality and relevant ubiquitous information (anytime, anywhere and anyhow with the correct format for the required device) from WWW, quickly and accurately, to satisfy a user‘s singular information needs. Taking into consideration the unique features of the WWW environment, the limitations of existing solutions and the fact that agents are efficient tools for the development of Web Information Retrieval (WIR) systems; the current paper describes UWIRS (acronym of Ubiquitous Web Information Retrieval Solution), a web information retrieval system that includes aspects to keep in mind for the ideal WIR solution.
