There are many parameters that may affect the navigation behaviour of web users. Prediction of the potential next page that may be visited by the web user is important, since this information can be used for prefetching or personalization of the page for that user. One of the successful methods for the determination of the next web page is to construct behaviour models of the users by clustering. The success of clustering is highly correlated with similarity measure that is used for calculating the similarity among navigation sequences. This thesis proposes a new approach for determining the next web page by extending the standard clustering method with the content-based semantic similarity method. The success of the proposed method has also been shown through real life web log data.

Improving the prediction of page access by using semantically enhanced clustering Sen, Erman; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Karagöz, Pınar (2016-08-01) There are many parameters that may affect the navigation behaviour of web users. Prediction of the potential next page that may be visited by the web user is important, since this information can be used for prefetching or personalization of the page for that user. One of the successful methods for the determination of the next web page is to construct behaviour models of the users by clustering.

An Approach for automated verification of web applications using model checking and replaying the scenarios of counterexamples Paçin, Yudum; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2015) The increase in the use of web applications in various domains, raised the importance of the methodologies for verification of web applications. We propose a framework for the verification of web applications with respect to access control, link consistency and reachability properties using model checking. In this approach, users define the properties by explanatory guidance of user interface. The execution traces that lead to a property violation is translated to a script that automates the replaying of th...
Web service testing for domain specific web service discovery framework Utku, Selma; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2012) The reliability of web services is important for both users and other service providers, with which they are in interaction. Thus, to guarantee reliability of the web services that are invoked and integrated at runtime, automatic testing of web services is needed. In web service testing, different test cases for web services are generated. The most important issue is to generate the most appropriate value for input parameters of web services at runtime. In this thesis, we developed a method for automatic we...
Semantic Annotation of Web Services with Lexicon-Based Alignment Cantürk, Deniz; Karagöz, Pınar (2011-07-04) As the number of available web services published in registries and on web sites increases, web service discovery becomes a challenging task. One solution to the problem is to use distributed web service search system composed of domain specific sub service discoverers. Using ontology is the most common practice to specify domain knowledge. However, an important problem at this point is the lack of semantic annotation for currently available web services. For this reason, there is a strong need for a mechan...
Improved Genetic Algorithm based Approach for QoS Aware Web Service Composition Yilmaz, A. Erdinc; Karagöz, Pınar (2014-07-02) Use of web services is one of the most rapidly developing technologies. Since web services are defined by XML-based standards to overcome platform dependency, they are very eligible to integrate with each other in order to establish new services. This composition enables us to reuse existing services, which results in less cost and time consumption. One of the recent problems with web service composition is to maximize the overall Quality of Service (QoS) of the composed service. Most common elements of QoS...
