Abstract

In Web Intelligence (WI) applications, it is a common practice to record Web log data. What remains a big obstacle as well as a great challenge in log analysis today is how to characterize the underlying user behavior from the obtained data.In this paper, we will focus on how to interpret strong regularities in Web surfing in terms of user decision-making patterns, and present an information foraging agent-based approach to characterizing user behavior.

Characterizing Web Usage Regularities with Information Foraging Agents

Abstract--Researchers have recently discovered several interesting, self-organized regularities from the World Wide Web, ranging from the structure and growth of the Web to the access patterns in Web surfing. What remains to be a great challenge in Web ...
Adaptive Web Site Agents

We discuss the design and evaluation of a class of agents that we call adaptive web site agents. The goal of such an agent is to help a user find additional information at a particular web site, adapting its behavior in response to the actions of the ...

Engineering Environment-Mediated Multi-Agent Systems

A web site presents a graph---like spatial structure composed of pages connected by hyperlinks. This structure may represent an environment in which situated agents associated to visitors of the web site (user agents) are positioned and moved in order ...
