On the Evaluation of Adaptive Web Systems

چکیده
Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) affect the way most of the Web-based applications are developed and used. One of the application domains affected by AHS is the domain of Web-based Support Systems (WSS), which is part of the more general online information systems domain. Since the very beginning of the research on AHS, different systems have been developed for different domains and application areas (such as educational systems, online information systems, etc.). Besides some general features, which are expected to be present in any software system, AHSs have their own extra features that make them different from non-adaptive systems. Through a careful study of a large number of adaptive hypermedia systems, a hierarchy of primary features based on which one can evaluate different adaptive web systems is proposed. An evaluation weighting scheme is also proposed for the given features. A comparative analysis is carried out for 4 major adaptive hypermedia systems (AHA!, InterBook, SETA and SeAN). The results of our detailed evaluation put AHA! at the top followed by SETA, SeAN and InterBook, respectively.

Design and Evaluation of a Method for Partitioning and Offloading Web-based Applications in Mobile Systems with Bandwidth Constraints
Computation offloading is known to be among the effective solutions of running heavy applications on smart mobile devices. However, irregular changes of a mobile data rate have direct impacts on code partitioning when offloading is in progress. It is believed that once a rate-adaptive partitioning performed, the replication of such substantial processes due to bandwidth fluctuation can be avoid...

Personalized recommenders have proved to be of use as a solution to reduce the information overload problem. Especially in Adaptive Hypermedia System, a recommender is the main module that delivers suitable learning objects to learners. Recommenders suffer from the cold-start and the sparsity problems. Furthermore, obtaining learner’s preferences is cumbersome. Most studies have only focused...

Nowadays, there is an increasing use of sampling methods in network and spatial populations. Although the most common link-tracing designs such as adaptive cluster sampling and snowball sampling have advantages over conventional sampling designs such as simple random sampling and cluster sampling, these designs still present many drawbacks. Adaptive web sampling is a new link-tracing design tha...

Ontology is the main infrastructure of the Semantic Web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. Development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. By emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...
