The web has been and still is growing very quickly. In this session some of the leading experts in their field will present platforms for agent development as well as examples of concrete agent application. Over the last year, the integration of sound and video into the Web has advanced at a rapid pace. However, most of these first generation tools are not interoperable.

This panel will provide developers with an introduction to both the public policy issues and the technology issues involved in addressing this problem.
