The World Wide Web (Web) offers a large potential for delivery of various information-based services, including the services of intelligent applications. As access to the Web has grown its value as a medium for the delivery of knowledge based systems (KBS), in particular, has increased. There are now a large number of KBS available on the Web and a variety of development tools to support Web-based KBS development. This paper discusses several issues relating to Web based KBS applications, including development tools and design issues.
