World Wide Web consists of more than 50 billion pages online. It is highly dynamic [6] i.e. the web continuously introduces new capabilities and attracts many people. Due to this explosion in size, the effective information retrieval system or search engine can be used to access the information. In this paper we have proposed the EPOW (Effective Performance of WebCrawler) architecture. It is a ...

In this paper we describe our vision on how to create a system that acquires moral rules by learning affective meaning of human experiences written on the web. Introduction Our research on developing what Yudkowsky (2007) named Friendly AI is mostly based on the vast textual WWW resources and on a presumption that most people follow the Ethic of Reciprocity (Golden Rule in Ethics).

Based upon the analysed results of an evidence based study conducted over a period of four years, it is clear that it is difficult to identify, for a given evaluation objective, the range of appropriate evaluation techniques (methods, metrics, criteria and approaches to be used). This paper presents a Web-based evaluation framework which is freely available online, designed to support both novi...

The World Wide Web (WWW) provides huge amounts of information in informal and semi-structured representations. This is one of the key factors that enabled its incredible success story. The representation formalisms are simple and retain a high degree of freedom in how to present the information. However, freedom in information representation and simple representation formalisms cause serious bo...

The instant information exchanging network of the Internet is interpreted as the consequences of invisible connection between humans. In the graph based studies the nodes are human beings and the edges represent various social relationships. The interactions among users can be interpreted via the formation and evolution of semantics. The interactive as well as intertwined behaviors are the foun...

Standard Web search services, though useful, are far from ideal. There are over a dozen di erent search services currently in existence, each with a unique interface and a database covering a di erent portion of the Web. As a result, users are forced to repeatedly try and retry their queries across di erent services. Furthermore, the services return many responses that are irrelevant, outdated,...

The enormous growth of the World Wide Web in recent years has made it necessary to perform resource discovery efficiently. For a crawler it is not an simple task to download the domain specific web pages. This unfocused approach often shows undesired results. Therefore, several new ideas have been proposed, among them a key technique is focused crawling which is able to crawl particular topical...

Today World Wide Web (WWW) has become a huge ocean of information and it is growing in size everyday. Downloading even a fraction of this mammoth data is like sailing through a huge ocean and it is a challenging task indeed. In order to download a large portion of data from WWW, it has become absolutely essential to make the crawling process parallel. In this paper we offer the architecture of ...
