Abstract :
NetEdge is a network edge device for the Internet that offloads the origin server by accommodating client capabilities and preferences locally. Services available include language translation, virus scanning, security and authentication, caching, image transcoding, and resolution of questions and ambiguity. We discuss how this new concept could be used as a virtual assistant to improve the client´s view of available web services.
