To speed up fetching Web pages, we give an intelligent technology of Web pre-fetching. We use a simplified WWW data model to represent the data in the cache of a Web browser to mine the association rules. We store these rules in a knowledge base so as to predict the user's actions. Intelligent agents are responsible for mining the users' interest and pre-fetching Web pages, based on the interest association repository. In this way user browsing time has been reduced transparently.
