The challenge is to develop a framework in which such services can describe their capabilities in as much detail as is necessary to allow a sophisticated software agent to select a suitable service based on an analysis of the characteristics of a user's problem.
The aim of the MONET project is to demonstrate the applicability of the latest ideas for creating a semantic web to the world of mathematical software, using sophisticated algorithms to match the characteristics of a problem to the advertised capabilities of available services and then invoking the chosen services through a standard mechanism.
