Mobile Search - Social Network Search Using Mobile Devices
2008
During the last years progress in Web search engines has been made to the point that relevant information can be reached easily most of the time. However very little empirical research has been carried to study Web search in highly dynamic social network environments composed of mobile devices. The aim of this work was therefore to investigate novel approaches that took advantage of the social network environment inherent to mobile peer-to-peer paradigm. The work focused mainly on the development of a prototype for mobile search concept. The prototype was built on top of Drupal content site management system. This study suggests that the methods presented can be a complement to traditional …
Modeling a non-stationary bots’ arrival process at an e-commerce Web site
2017
Abstract The paper concerns the issue of modeling and generating a representative Web workload for Web server performance evaluation through simulation experiments. Web traffic analysis has been done from two decades, usually based on Web server log data. However, while the character of the overall Web traffic has been extensively studied and modeled, relatively few studies have been devoted to the analysis of Web traffic generated by Internet robots (Web bots). Moreover, the overwhelming majority of studies concern the traffic on non e-commerce websites. In this paper we address the problem of modeling a realistic arrival process of bots’ requests on an e-commerce Web server. Based on real…
Online Web Bot Detection Using a Sequential Classification Approach
2019
A significant problem nowadays is detection of Web traffic generated by automatic software agents (Web bots). Some studies have dealt with this task by proposing various approaches to Web traffic classification in order to distinguish the traffic stemming from human users' visits from that generated by bots. Most of previous works addressed the problem of offline bot recognition, based on available information on user sessions completed on a Web server. Very few approaches, however, have been proposed to recognize bots online, before the session completes. This paper proposes a novel approach to binary classification of a multivariate data stream incoming on a Web server, in order to recogn…
Semantic web technologies for facilities management
2007
Facility management is the practice of coordinating the physical workplace with the people and work of the organization. It integrates the principles of business administration, architecture and the behavioral and engineering sciences. To deal with these requirements, we have developed a framework based on Semantic Web technologies: RDF, OWL, SWRL and named graph. This framework, called C-DMF, allows facilities manager to organize all knowledge generating during building lifecycle in end-user contextual graphs.
Context DataModel Framework: semantic facilities management
2008
Facility management is the practice of coordinating the physical workplace with the people and work of the organisation. It integrates the principles of business administration, architecture and the behavioural and engineering sciences. Software dedicated to facility management are usually limited to spreadsheet software. With the development of the Industry Foundation Class (IFC; a new object-oriented standard to model buildings) and web-based networks, a new generation of methods and tools dedicated to facility management are required. To deal with these requirements, we have developed a framework based on Semantic Web technologies: RDF, Ontology Web Language (OWL), Semantic Web Rule Lang…
Ontology languages for the semantic web: A never completely updated review
2006
This paper gives a never completely account of approaches that have been used for the research community for representing knowledge. After underlining the importance of a layered approach and the use of standards, it starts with early efforts used for artificial intelligence researchers. Then recent approaches, aimed mainly at the semantic web, are described. Coding examples from the literature are presented in both sections. Finally, the semantic web ontology creation process, as we envision it, is introduced.
Ontology-based Semantic Web Service platform in Mobile Environments
2006
The number of mobile terminals is continuously increasing in the world, although in many developed countries the market has saturated. Thus, the market can only grow if new service types are offered to the mobile terminals. One emerging technology that might make this possible is semantic web services. At the core of this technology are ontologies that are necessary for automatic discovery and composition of the services. In this paper we discuss how mobility affects the architectural considerations of semantic web service platform and particularly ontology management. We rely on reference architecture for Semantic Web Services in our work.
Semantic Web Enabled Web Services: State-of-Art and Industrial Challenges
2003
Semantic Web technology has a vision to define and link Web data in a way that it can be understood and used by machines for automation, integration and reuse of data across various applications. Ontological definition of every resource as it is assumed in Semantic Web, along with new techniques for semantics processing and new vision Intelligent Web Services is expected to bring Web on its new level. At present, Web Services technology is stressed by the search of a right way for further development. Combination of Semantic Web and Web Services concepts may address many of difficulties of existing technology. It is not a question of whether Semantic Web is coming or not, but a question of …
Ontosmartresource: an industrial resource generation in semantic web
2005
Semantic Web is a logical evolution of the existing Web. It was meant to serve for machines as today's Web does for humans. The term "machines" according to the existing semantic Web's vocabulary mostly means "computers". However industry needs such applications, which consider machines also as embedded computational entities within field devices, personal devices, microwave ovens, etc. In other words, now we should involve the real (industrial) world objects as resources into semantic Web. Still the main object of such a world will be a human, which becoming a resource (not just a user of resources) in the distributed environment. In this paper we introduce an extension of the semantic Web…
Using association rules to assess purchase probability in online stores
2016
The paper addresses the problem of e-customer behavior characterization based on Web server log data. We describe user sessions with the number of session features and aim to identify the features indicating a high probability of making a purchase for two customer groups: traditional customers and innovative customers. We discuss our approach aimed at assessing a purchase probability in a user session depending on categories of viewed products and session features. We apply association rule mining to real online bookstore data. The results show differences in factors indicating a high purchase probability in session for both customer types. The discovered association rules allow us to formu…
