摘要: With the growth of World Wide Web (WWW), many people nowadays spend a lot time performing various tasks with browsers, most these repetitive and tedious. Many applications are created to reorganize simplify usage resources, which called automation applications. This paper proposes an infrastructure create applications, WIS (Web Integration Solution) system. integrates diversity tools technologies provide software environment for developing services. Developers can use this tool We show versatility by implementing three exemplary The first is metasearcher system that provides single search interface several indexing abstract databases. second cataloguing task retrieving bibliographic data from Web; also integrated book-recommendation libraries. third site checking periodically checks if some critical sites working correctly, no matter how complex check procedure is.
