Using Semantic Information for Web Usage Mining Based Recommendation

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 frequent navigational patterns are extracted in the form of ontology instances instead of Web page addresses and the result is used for generating Web page recommendations to the visitor. In addition, an evaluation mechanism is implemented in order to test the success of the recommendation. Test results show that more accurate recommendations can be obtained by including semantic information in the Web usage mining.

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...
Improving pattern quality in web usage mining by using semantic information
Karagöz, Pınar (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-03-01)
Frequent Web navigation patterns generated by using Web usage mining techniques provide valuable information for several applications such as Web site restructuring and recommendation. In conventional Web usage mining, semantic information of the Web page content does not take part in the pattern generation process. In this work, we investigate the effect of semantic information on the patterns generated for Web usage mining in the form of frequent sequences. To this aim, we developed a technique and a fram...
Discovering more accurate frequent web usage patterns
Bayır, Murat Ali; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Coşar, Ahmet; Fidan, Güven (2008-09-01)
Web usage mining is a type of web mining, which exploits data mining techniques to discover valuable information from navigation behavior of World Wide Web users. As in classical data mining, data preparation and pattern discovery are the main issues in web usage mining. The first phase of web usage mining is the data processing phase, which includes the session reconstruction operation from server logs. Session reconstruction success directly affects the quality of the frequent patterns discovered in the n...
An End-to-End Security Auditing Approach for Service Oriented Architectures
AZARMİ, Mehdi; BHARGAVA, Bharat; Angın, Pelin; RANCHAL, Rohit; AHMED, Norman; SİNCLAİR, Asher; LİNDERMAN, Mark; BEN OTHMANE, Lotfi (2012-10-11)
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming a major paradigm for distributed application development in the recent explosion of Internet services and cloud computing. However, SOA introduces new security challenges not present in the single-hop client-server architectures due to the involvement of multiple service providers in a service request. The interactions of independent service domains in SOA could violate service policies or SLAs. In addition, users in SOA systems have no control on what happens...
