In this paper, we design and implement a system for managing domain specific thesauri, where object-oriented paradigm is applied to thesaurus construction, concept browsing and query-based reference. This system provides an objected-oriented mechanism to assist domain experts in constructing thesauri; it determines a considerable part of relationship degrees between terms by inheritance and supplies domain experts with information available from a thesaurus being constructed This information is especially useful to enforce consistency between the hierarchies of a thesaurus, each constructed by different experts in different sites through cooperation.

This system provides an objected mechanism to assist domain experts in constructing thesauri: it determines a considerable part of relationship degrees between terms by inheritance and supplies domain experts with information available from a thesaurus being constructed. This information is especially useful to enforce consistency between the hierarchies of a thesaurus, each constructed by different experts in different sites through cooperation. It may minimize the burden of domain experts caused from the exhaustive specification of individual relationship. This system also provides an abstracted browsing and a query based reference, which allow users to easily verify thesaurus terms before they are used in usual boolean queries. The verification is made by actively searching for them in the thesaurus. Reference queries and abstracted browsing views facilitate this searching. The facility is indispensable especially when precision counts for much.

In this paper, we present a design and implementation of a TV-Anytime compliant STB to provide personalized content consumption according to user preferences and various terminal/network conditions. This paper mainly details with a metadata engine which consists of meta data de-multiplexing, metadata decoding, and metadata-based content browsing. For personalized content consumption, the proposed metadata engine provides the following key functionalities: advanced EPG, non-linear segment navigation wirh Tables-of-Content and/or event-based summary, automatic recommendation of user-preferred programs, and etc. The implemented STB employing the metadata engine is successfully tested with a set of service scenarios in an end-to-end broadcasting test-bed.

The paper discusses the nature of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSs) and shows how these can support digital library users. It demonstrates processes related to integration of KOS like the Dewey Decimal Classification, $22^{nd}$ edition (DDC22) in DSpace software (http://www.dspace.org/) for organizing and retrieving (browsing and searching) scholarly objects. An attempt has been made to use the DDC22 available in Bengali language and highlights the required mechanisms for system-level integration. It may help a repository administrator to build an IDR (Institutional Digital Repository) integrated with SKOS-enabled multilingual subject access systems for supporting subject descriptors based indexing (DC.Subject metadata element), structured navigation (browsing) and efficient searching.

Video data is usually stored in a compressed format in order to reduce the storage space. For efficient browsing, searching, and retrieval of compressed video sequences, size-reduced images (or DC images which are formed with block DC coefficients) are generally preferred to avoid unnecessary computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a DC image extraction scheme appropriate for scene analysis and efficient browsing of compressed video sequences. The proposed algorithm utilizes predicted low frequency AC coefficients to achieve better approximation and to reduce the error drift. Due to the AC prediction based on a quadratic surface model, the proposed scheme requires no additional memory compared with the previous zero-order or first-order approximation scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better subjective and objective quality with minor additional operations.

The purpose of operating the main homepage of University is to provide the related information about University resources to site visitors. In this study, we analyze website browsing patterns and extract characteristics of users in order to improve its utilization. The access log files to main homepage were used to analyze the browsing patterns and converted to process log files adaptable to a process mining tool, ProM. Finally we provide useful information about user friendly homepage design and suggest plans for improving its utilization to website operators.

In this paper, we classify web-based social network into two types: open and community, and model user behavior in social activities. After that, we also propose the combination of instant messaging and web system as the method of support asynchronous/synchronous social activities. Furthermore, we introduce ImCoWeb prototype system that supports both asynchronous social activities (ex. social bookmark, comment, rate, and data share) and synchronous ones (ex. real-time communication, file transfer, co-browsing, and co-work). Because it is built on the existing instant messaging, it reduces costs by reusing the facilities such as session management, user management, and security of instant messaging.

In case of remote image retrieval via shared network or low speed link in order to make a decision for target image problems such as transmission delay are encountered. In this paper browsing and optimization techniques are proposed for fast retrieval of Image by the multiresolution representation and progressive transmission. The proposed network model was analyzed and evaluated for system's performance improvement. Interactive user-system using several multiresolution representation has shown better performance in transmission delay minimization over the single resolution image retrieval system.

Hypermedia system supports associative linking concept for multimedia information using link and node concept, and overcomes the limitations of database system and text retrieval system in some application areas. This study shows the design and implementation of a hypermedia system which supports text, graphics, image and voice /sound information. This system has been designed to integrate the browsing and searching functions of the hypermedia system for efficient multimedia information retrieval and user-interface. To demonstrate the function and capability of the system, an application was made in the area of Bible and related information.

Lately mobile handheld devices such as Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and cellular phones are getting more popular for personal web surfing. However, today most mobile handheld devices have relatively poor web browsing capability due to their low performance so their users have to suffer longer communication latency than those of desktop Personal Computers (PCs). In this paper, we propose an effective pre-refresh mechanism for embedded web browser of mobile handheld devices to reduce this problem. The proposed mechanism uses the idle time to pre-refresh the expired web objects in an embedded web browser's cache memory. It increases the utilization of Central Processing Unit (CPU) power and network bandwidth during the idle time and consequently reduces the client's latency and web browsing cost. An experiment was done using a simulator designed by us to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed mechanism. The experiment result demonstrates that it has a good performance to make web surfing faster.
