An Economic Model of the Worldwide Web

by George Kouroupas, Elias Koutsoupias, Christos H. Papadimitriou, Martha Sideri , 2005
"... We believe that much novel insight into the worldwide web can be obtained from taking into account the important fact that it is created, used, and run by selfish optimizing agents: users, document authors, and search engines. On-going theoretical and experimental analysis of a simple abstract model ..."

Experiments with an Economic Model of the Worldwide Web

by Georgios Kouroupas, Elias Koutsoupias, Christos H. Papadimitriou, Martha Sideri , 2005
"... We present a simple model in which the worldwide web (www) is created by the interaction of selfish agents, namely document authors, users, and search engines. We show experimentally that power law statistics emerge very naturally in this context, and that the efficiency of the system has certain m ..."

Crowds: Anonymity for Web Transactions

by Michael K. Reiter, Aviel D. Rubin - ACM Transactions on Information and System Security , 1997
"... this paper we introduce a system called Crowds for protecting users' anonymity on the worldwide -web. Crowds, named for the notion of "blending into a crowd", operates by grouping users into a large and geographically diverse group (crowd) that collectively issues requests on behalf o ..."

AskMSR: Question Answering Using the Worldwide Web

by Michele Banko , Eric Brill, Susan Dumais, Jimmy Lin - IN PROCEEDINGS OF 2002 AAAI SPRING SYMPOSIUM ON MINING ANSWERS FROM TEXTS AND KNOWLEDGE BASES , 2002
"... The design of the AskMSR question answering system is motivated by recent observations in natural language processing that for many applications, significant improvements in accuracy can be attained simply by increasing the amount of data used for learning (e.g., Banko & Brill, 2001). By taking ..."

). By taking advantage of the vast amount of online text available via the worldwide web, rather than relying on an approach that depends heavily on natural language intensive techniques, we developed a simple but effective question answering system. Many groups working on question answering use a variety

Visualizing and Animating Search Operations on Quadtrees on the Worldwide Web

by Hanan Samet , 1999
"... A set of spatial index JAVA TM applets is described that enable users on the worldwide web to experiment with a number of variants of the quadtree spatial data structure for different spatial data types, and, most importantly, enable them to see in an animated manner how a number of basic search ope ..."

Focused crawling: a new approach to topic-specific Web resource discovery

by Soumen Chakrabarti, Martin van den Berg, Byron Dom , 1999
"... The rapid growth of the World-Wide Web poses unprecedented scaling challenges for general-purpose crawlers and search engines. In this paper we describe a new hypertext resource discovery system called a Focused Crawler. The goal of a focused crawler is to selectively seek out pages that are relevan ..."

The Ontolingua Server: a Tool for Collaborative Ontology Construction

by Adam Farquhar, Richard Fikes, James Rice - International Journal of Human-Computer Studies , 1996
"... Reusable ontologies are becoming increasingly important for tasks such as information integration, knowledge-level interoperation, and knowledgebase development. We have developed a set of tools and services to support the process of achieving consensus on common shared ontologies by geographically ..."

distributed groups. These tools make use of the worldwide web to enable wide access and provide users with the ability to publish, browse, create, and edit ontologies stored on an ontology server. Users can quickly assemble a new ontology from a library of modules. We discuss how our system was constructed
