Objectif Mathematics and its applications have become increasingly pervasive in many areas of modern life, making it important that companies, researchers and individuals use the most appropriate mathematical algorithms for their purpose. The aim of the MONET project is to apply the latest ideas for creating a semantic web to the world of mathematical software, using intelligent software agents to match an abstract problem to the distributed services available for solving it. The resulting framework will be powerful, flexible and dynamic, yet robust and easy to navigate, putting state-of-the-art algorithms at the disposal of users anywhere in the world.

The first task will be to gather a collection of user requirements for our framework and conduct a detailed assessment of the ability of the available technologies to meet them. This will lead to a detailed speci cation of how our framework will be built, and probably lead the Consortium to develop new relationships with appropriate bodies such as emerging W3C working groups. The second major group of activities will focus on developing ontologies and protocols to represent mathematical queries, describe mathematical services, describe the users of such services and explain the solution process. These will form a collection of ""languages"" which all the components in the MONET framework will use to communicate with one another. The third work package will develop an initial software implementation of the infrastructure needed to support mathematical services. Finally we shall use this infrastructure to construct two families of prototype services and demonstrate that together they can be used to solve a number of general mathematical problems.
