The IBROW project developed an intelligent brokering service for configuring knowledge-based systems using software components distributed across the World Wide Web. The service utilised specialised search techniques and shared ontologies to identify and integrate relevant components into problem-solving configurations. Users could specify complex, knowledge-intensive problems, and the IBROW broker would automatically assemble a suitable software solution by analysing available libraries. This project aimed to facilitate efficient reuse of software components for various applications.
