Distributed Visual Reasoning for Intelligent Information Retrieval on the Web

Abstract

For smart Web information retrieval, we provide a distributed visual reasoning system in this work. Graphical programming,
the World Wide Web, Java applets, an inference engine, and servers for databases are all part of the system. In order to facilitate
the retrieval of information, it mediates messages going between the Web clients, inference engine, and database servers and
provides users with a visual programming interface. A web server stores the necessary web page and provides the necessary system
setup services. Java applet functionality may be activated by downloading the necessary classes, information, and the visual
programming interface agent over the Web client and the HTTP protocol. In the visual programming interface, the user may
construct visual statements and input parameters to get the necessary data. In order to provide faster and more reliable communication, a distributed communication paradigm is suggested. As an example of one of many possible uses for our technology,
we provide a financial diagnostic. All rights are held by Elsevier Science B.V., copyright 2000.
