Abstract

Recent popularity of web-ready mobile devices such as PDA and cellphone has made mobile Internet access very popular. However, most of existing Web contents and services are optimized for desktop computing environment and not well suited for mobile devices. Considering different system features of mobile devices such as small display and limited input capability, an alternative scheme to access the Web efficiently is required. On the other hand, personalization plays an important role in the tailored access to the Web contents and services. In this paper, we propose a proxy- based personalization scheme of Web service pages for mobile users. For that purpose, in addition to log data. service related features of Web pages are considered for the correct identification of popular services. It automatically provides mobile users with the tailored list of Web services well suited for diverse mobile devices. Consequently, mobile users can utilize customized Web services with minimum navigation on the mobile devices with limited capability. In order to show its effectiveness, we have performed several experiments on the prototype system and reported some of the results.

최근 PDA나 차세대 이동통신 단말기와 같은 인터넷 접속이 가능한 무선 단말기들의 보급이 크게 증가하면서 무선 인터넷 접속이 보편화되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 기존 엘 컨텐츠와 서비스들은 데스크탑 환경에 최적화되어 무선 단말기를 통한 접근이 쉽지 않다. 무선 단말기의 자은 화면이나 제한된 입력장치와 같은 특성을 고려해 볼 때 효과적인 웹 접근을 위한 새로운 기법이 요구되고 있다. 한편, 개인화는 엘 컨텐츠나 서비스를 맞춤식으로 제공하는 데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 단말기 사용자를 위한 프락시 기반의 웹 서비스 페이지 개인화 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 로그 데이타뿐만 아니라 웹 페이지의 서비스 관련 특징을 고려하여 사용자가 자주 이용하는 서비스론 식별한다. 식별된 서비스 페이지들은 무선 단말기에 알맞은 형태로 개인화된 리스트로 제공된다. 결과적으로 사용자들은 여러 제약을 가지는 무선 단말기 상에서 개인화된 웹 서비스를 최소한의 검색만으로 제공받을 수 있다. 마지막으로 프로토타입 시스템에서 다양한 실험을 통하여 기법의 효용성을 입증하였다.
