Abstract

Hypermedia systems are distributed by nature. Each component of a hypermedia system should operate with a certain level of autonomy with respect to other components. This property makes autonomous agents an appropriate programming abstraction for developing hypermedia system components. Agents are indeed meant to make local decisions, without being able to perceive the entirety of their environment. At a Web scale, it is however likely that agents have to deal with a high volume/variety of information. When designing hypermedia environments for autonomous agents, an important question is: what should agents perceive in their hypermedia environment?
