The evolution of the electronic sources connected through wide area networks like Internet has encouraged the development of new information gathering techniques that go beyond traditional information retrieval and WEB search methods. They use advanced techniques, like planning or constraint programming, to integrate and reason about hetereogeneous information sources. In this paper we describe MAPWEB. MAPWEB is a multiagent framework that integrates planning agents and WEB information retrieval agents. The goal of this framework is to deal with problems that require planning with information to be gathered from the WEB.
