Our disconnected browsing system presently has two interacting proxy agents.
Presently Offline as Joshi moves from U. Missouri to
U. Maryland, Baltimore County.
- Mowser is a proxy agent that performs media specific granularity transformation and transcoding on HTTP/1.0 streams to make them more suited for "display" on the client hardware resources. Once you set your preferences by following the link above, remember
to tell your browser to use nirvana.cecs.missouri.edu:8008 as it's proxy, and
set no proxy for URLs from this server.
- Web Intelligent Query allows asynchronous interaction with the web, including disconnection management, user profile based information retrieval/filtering etc. Basically, it converts web access into a sequence of small, atomic transactions with allowable
disconnections. It also acts as a Recommender System for URLs.
Caveat Emptor -- These systems are under development and constantly changing. No specific performance guarantee is given or implied or ...... .
If you find that the server is down when you come in, try again soon. We are probably tinkering with it just then. If your repeated attempts fail, give us a holler.
