Traditional hypermedia systems can be extended to allow content based matching to give more flexibility for user navigation, but this approach is still limited by the capabilities of multimedia matching technology. The addition of a multimedia thesaurus can overcome some of these limitations by allowing multimedia representations of concepts to act like synonyms in the query process. The use of agents that independently examine the information in the system can also provide alternative methods for query evaluation. This paper presents a flexible architecture that supports such a system and describes initial work on implementation.

Unfortunately, the limitations of the existing Web infrastructure mean that purely event-based user interaction is unsuitable within Web applications. Nevertheless, the authors believe that integrating event-based user interaction in certain parts of a large Web application will have positive effects if a suitable architecture is used. In this paper, they explore an architecture that accommodates a partial integration of an event-driven user interface and hides some of the ad hoc Web infrastructure. They also suggest ways in which event based interaction can be incorporated within a Web application framework such as J2EE. Author(s) : Weiquan Zhao, David Kearney and Gianpaolo Gioiosa

In the last decade, much of the reverse engineering research has concentrated on the development of tools that support traditional software development environments and languages such as COBOL, PL/I, Pascal, C, Java, and C++. This thesis extends this body of research into a new domain: Web applications. The author develops extractors that analyze the source code and binaries of Web applications. Then, the author performs algebraic manipulations on the extracted information to generate architecture diagrams that highlight the main components of a Web application and the interactions between them.

A novel design and implementation technique for Web-based distributed information systems is introduced. Using a state machine model, a database powered Web application prototype has been successfully implemented. It is a Europe-wide product marketing system for rural areas funded by the European Commission, and is currently in the pilot phase. These experiences have led us to the development of framework tools to close the semantic gap between distributed databases and the Web browser as standard user interface. The key idea is to create a design language to describe the user interface layout, the functionality and the database transactions in a homogenous way. Author(s) : Karl M. Goeschka

This paper argues that many of the problems one may experience while visiting Websites today may be avoided if their builders adopt a proper methodology for designing and implementing the site. More specifically, introducing a systematic conceptual design phase for Websites, similar in purpose and technique to the conceptual design phase in database systems, proves to be effective and efficient. However, certain differences such as adopting a user-centered view are essential for this. Existing database design techniques such as ER, ORM, OMT are found to be an adequate basis for this approach. We show how they can be extended to make them appropriate for Website design.

This paper discusses an investigation of data organization on the Web, specifically structured Web servers. A page oriented data model, the ARANEUS data model, is developed. The model will be used to describe the database scheme of a structured server. A view definition language, ARANEUS view language, is also developed which will build relational views of the Web and also derived Web structures from relational views.

WSDM is an audience driven design method for Web sites. By explicitly starting from the requirements of the Web sites audience (the users or visitors), WSDM avoids problems caused by poor underlying design, or by a too data or organization driven view. This paper presents how the main structure of a Web site can be derived from structuring the visitors of the Web site into one or more so-called Audience Class Hierarchies. Each Hierarchy represents a classification of the visitors according to one aspect. Author(s) : Sven Casteleyn and Olga De Troyer

This paper presents a framework to recover the architecture of Web applications. Developers can visualize and navigate the recovered architecture. Furthermore, they can analyze the architecture to gain a better understanding of their Web application. Author(s) : Ahmed E. Hassan and Richard C. Holt

This paper examined the Webby Awards 2000 dataset to understand which factors distinguish highly-rated Websites from those that receive poor ratings. For these awards, the Websites were categorized into 27 topical categories such as Science, Arts, Commerce, Living, and News, and expert judges were recruited for each of these topic areas. The Websites, numbering nearly 3000, were rated according to six criteria: content, structure & navigation, visual design, functionality, interactivity, and overall experience. The authors found that, across the dataset, the content criterion was by far the best predictor of the overall experience criterion, while the visual design criterion was the worst predictor of the overall experience.

This paper presents and discusses the idea of packaging sets of objects embedded on a Web page into a single bundle object to be sent to a client, which produces a response time as good as or better than the current mechanisms. This paper also shows how this approach can reduce the load on the network and servers. Author(s) : Craig E. Willis, Mikhail Mikhailov and Hao Shang
