Taking part in this project

One of the main purposes of this Web site is to obtain material, information and feedback for a new book I am working on about developing evolutionary directions of the Internet.

To this end I should appreciate any feedback, criticisms or comments on the stuff you will find in these Web pages.

To provide new and original content for the book I shall need to stimulate and promote the development of various forms of intelligent objects and systems on the Internet through this Web site. This will allow me to include several actual systems to back up the theory (this Web site and the experiment in Web communications covered in the next section will be part of this).

I should like to establish dialogues with other people who are interested in this area so that we can cooperate together to exchange ideas, knowledge and experience in various complimentary ways.

In particular I shall be looking to enroll the support of companies who are already involved in this and other relevant areas of technology associated with optimizing the use of the Internet. I should also like to include as many different languages and authoring systems as possible.

If you have read the section on object oriented thinking you will know that a program of this sort cannot be specified or stipulated from the start. It has to grow and evolve with no central decision making person or organization dictating the progress or direction - it isn't even necessary to have a central fixed base.

I expect that at some stage a SIG list serve discussion forum will be set up but I should also like to experiment with alternative techniques for facilitating the exchange of information between people with a common field of interest (see the page on speculations).

So as not to leave this future stuff completely in the air, here are a few of the areas which I intend looking into for the purpose of my new book:

• Object oriented Web sites
• Info bot applications
• Intelligent Web systems
• Complex multi object Web buggies
• Buggy Experiments
• Combining logical and emotive control systems
• Cooperative evolutionary projects
• Experimenting with genetic algorithms and AI mechanisms
• Integrating Intranets with CD-ROMs
• Integrating track zero productions with the Web
• Combining intelligent Web agents with custom CD-ROMs
• Using various different authoring packages and programming languages
• Using intelligent agents for marketing on the Web
• Using intelligent agents for Web based games
• Using intelligent agents for Education
• Web based services using intelligent agents
