In this paper, we discuss the various issues in designing intelligent software systems to assist worldwide- web users in locating relevant information. We identify a number of key components in such intelligent systems. These include a web document database management system, a client-based goal-directed search engine, an intelligent learning agent which discovers users? topics of interest by studying their browsing behavior, and an intelligent agent which monitors "hot" web sites. We give examples and suggestions on how these components are designed and implemented. We also describe the architecture of a prototype system that integrates the various components.
