A scenario that makes use of the aforementioned agent
model and discovery framework has been defined. A barebones
implementation of the agent has been developed, based
on the Open Source tool Scrappy,2 a screen scraper that was
extended with the previously defined intelligent agent model.
The result is an agent which is able to address top-level goals
for discovering contents and services on the web and will be
here used in a scenario to validate the proposed framework.
The agent is then configured to perform high-level tasks under
a scenario involving electronic newspapers.
