Web usage mining has become popular in various business areas related with Web site development. In Web usage mining, the commonly visited navigational paths are extracted in terms of Web page addresses from the Web server visit logs, and the patterns are used in various applications. The semantic information of the Web page contents is generally not included in Web usage mining. In this thesis, a framework for integrating semantic information with Web usage mining is implemented. The frequent navigational patterns are extracted in the forms of ontology instances instead of Web page addresses and the result is used for making page recommendations to the visitor. Moreover, an evaluation mechanism is implemented to find the success of the recommendation. Test results proved that stronger and more accurate recommendations are obtained by including semantic information in the Web usage mining instead of using on visited Web page addresses.

Using Semantic Information for Web Usage Mining Based Recommendation
Salın, Süleyman; Karagöz, Pınar (2009-09-28)
Web usage mining has become popular in various business areas related with Web site development. In Web usage mining, commonly visited navigational paths are extracted in terms of Web page addresses from the Web server visit logs, and the patterns are used in various applications including recommendation. The semantic information of the Web page contents is generally not included in Web usage mining. In this work, a framework for integrating semantic information with Web usage mining is presented. The frequ...
Automatic composition of semantic web services with the abductive event calculus
Kırcı, Esra; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2008)
In today's world, composite web services are widely used in service oriented computing, web mashups and B2B Applications etc. Most of these services are composed manually. However, the complexity of manually composing web services increase exponentially with the increase in the number of available web services, the need for dynamically created/updated/discovered services and the necessity for higher amount of data bindings and type mappings in longer compositions. Therefore, current highly manual web servic...
Mining frequent semantic event patterns
Söztutar, Enis; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Especially with the wide use of dynamic page generation, and richer user interaction in Web, traditional web usage mining methods, which are based on the pageview concept are of limited usability. For overcoming the difficulty of capturing usage behaviour, we define the concept of semantic events. Conceptually, events are higher level actions of a user in a web site, that are technically independent of pageviews. Events are modelled as objects in the domain of the web site, with associated properties. A sam...
A migration management framework proposal for cobol/cics based mainframes
Kaplan, Halil; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Today, mainframes contain a considerable portion of business applications worldwide. It is estimated that the current inventory of production COBOL running on mainframes is 150 to 200 billion lines of code. Despite the efforts to change within the mainframe environment, these mainframes, nowadays, face major problems for host organizations due to a combined set of financial, business related, technical and organizational problems. Moreover, the factors like diminishing resources (COBOL programmers), lack of...
Multilingual dynamic linking of web resources
Dönmez, Uğur; Coşar, Ahmet; Yeşilada, Yeliz; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
The World Wide Web is successful for locating, browsing and publishing information by its scalable architecture. However, the Web suffers from some limitations. For example, links on the Web are embedded in documents. Links are only unidirectional, ownership is required to place an anchor in documents, and authoring links is an expensive process. The embedded link structure of the Web can be improved by Semantic Web. By using Semantic Web components, existing Web resources can be enriched with additional ex...
