| Work Experience | Building a Constraint Model for a Web Robot, Summer 96, Cambridge, MA | |
|
The project consists of building a Constraint Model for a Web Robot. The
Robot
can traverse the web, validate links, compare pages, search for keywords, verify
syntax, and accept commands and constraints in
Tcl (tool command language).
The Robot is to be extended with a graphical interface.
The code is written in C, emulating C++ and documented in HTML.
The Robot is distributed as code to be compiled, and therefore can be run on any
system that can compile standard C.
Project supervised by
Henrik
Frystyk Nielsen of the W3 Consortium
and funded by the Lab for Computer
Science at MIT. | ||
