Existing web-based cost databases have proved invaluable for construction cost estimating. These databases have been utilized to compute approximate cost estimates using assembly rates, unit rates, and etc. These web-based databases can be used independently with traditional cost estimation methods (manual methods) or used to support BIM-based cost estimating platforms. However, these databases are rigid, costly, and require a lot of manual inputs to reflect recent trends in prices or prices relative to a construction project's location. To address this gap, this study integrated deep learning techniques with web-based price analysis to develop a database that incorporates a project's location cost estimating standards and current cost trends in generating a cost estimate. The proposed method was tested in a case study project in Lagos, Nigeria. A cost estimate was successfully generated. Comparison of the experimental results with results using current industry standards showed that the proposed method achieved a 98.16% accuracy. The results showed that the proposed method was successful in generating approximate cost estimates irrespective of project's location.

With the advances in multimedia databases on the World Wide Web, it becomes more important to provide users with the search capability of distributed multimedia data. While there have been many studies about the database selection and the collection fusion for text databases. The multimedia databases on the Web have autonomous and heterogeneous properties and they use mainly the content based retrieval. The collection fusion problem of multimedia databases is concerned with the merging of results retrieved by content based retrieval from heterogeneous multimedia databases on the Web. This problem is crucial for the search in distributed multimedia databases, however, it has not been studied yet. This paper provides novel algorithms for processing the collection fusion of heterogeneous multimedia databases on the Web. We propose two heuristic algorithms for estimating the number of objects to be retrieved from local databases and an algorithm using the linear regression. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness and efficiency of these algorithms. These algorithms can provide the basis for the distributed content based retrieval algorithms for multimedia databases on the Web.

Biological data and analysis tools are accumulated in distributed databases and web servers. For this reason, biologists who want to find information from the web should be aware of the various kinds of resources where it is located and how it is retrieved. Integrating the data from heterogeneous biological resources will enable biologists to discover new knowledge across the specific domain boundaries from sequences to expression, structure, and pathway. And inevitably biological databases contain noisy data. Therefore, consensus among databases will confirm the reliability of its contents. We have developed WeSAT that integrates distributed and heterogeneous biological databases and analysis tools, providing through Web Services protocols. In WeSAT, biologists are retrieved specific entries in SWISS-PROT/EMBL, PDB, and KEGG, which have annotated information about sequence, structure, and pathway. And further analysis is carried by integrated services for example homology search and multiple alignments. WeSAT makes it possible to retrieve real time updated data and analysis from the scattered databases in a single platform through Web Services.

The distinguished prosperity of information technologies from great progress of e-business during the last decade has unavoidably made software development for active data mining to discovery hidden predictive information regarding business trends and behavior from vary large databases. Therefore this paper develops an active mining object(ADMO) component, which provides real-time predictive information from web databases. The ADMO component is to extended ADO(ActiveX Data Object) component to active data mining component based on COM(Component Object Model) for application program interface(API). ADMO component development made use of window script component(WSC) based on XML(eXtensible Markup Language). For the purpose of investigating the application environments and the practical schemes of the ADMO component, experiments for diverse practical applications were performed in this paper. As a result, ADMO component confirmed that it could effectively extract the analytic information of classification and aggregation from vary large databases for Web services.

In this paper, we present the development of a system(WebPierrot) that helps end-users to generate home pages with the construction of their corresponding web databases without the web programming technique. It consists of a page editor. a database wizard and a database manager. The page editor creates and modifies multimedia home pages. The database wizard generates databases operated with home pages automatically, and the database manager maintains the database related to the home pages. The page editor has been made based on the DHTML(Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language) and lets users generate multimedia home pages interactively. The database manager creates, updates and manages web databases. The system has the advantage which end-users can create multimedia home pages containing databases without requiring web database programming.

This paper analyzes techniques that extract objective information from distributed web databases for bioinformatics based on relationship among information. Moreover, we discuss the design and implementation of a method for knowledge enhancement in respect of protein information. Web data extractor can be constructed by using a manual, semi-automatic, or automatic way. Data extractor generally makes use of identifiers in order to search and extract targeting information from a specified web page. This paper presents a design and implementation for the protein databases of an organism by utilizing web data extraction techniques.

We will introduce a new web-based knowledge management system in progress, in which XML-based web information extraction and our structuring knowledge technologies are combined using ontology-based natural language processing. Our aim is to provide efficient access to heterogeneous information on the web, enabling users to use a wide range of textual and non textual resources, such as newspapers and databases, effortlessly to accelerate knowledge acquisition from such knowledge sources. In order to achieve the efficient knowledge management, we propose at first an XML-based Web information extraction which contains a sophisticated control language to extract data from Web pages. With using standard XML Technologies in the system, our approach can make extracting information easy because of a) detaching rules from processing, b) restricting target for processing, c) Interactive operations for developing extracting rules. Then we propose a structuring knowledge system which includes, 1) automatic term recognition, 2) domain oriented automatic term clustering, 3) similarity-based document retrieval, 4) real-time document clustering, and 5) visualization. The system supports integrating different types of databases (textual and non textual) and retrieving different types of information simultaneously. Through further explanation to the specification and the implementation technique of the system, we will demonstrate how the system can accelerate knowledge acquisition on the Web even for novice users of the field.

웹은 지금까지의 문자 위주의 응용에서 벗어나, 그림, 동영상과 같은 멀티미디어 자료를 브라우저를 통해 접근할 수 있도록 하여, 점차 많은 응용분야에서 사용되고 있다. 최근에 들어서는 데이타베이스와 웹의 연동을 통해, 보다 다양하고, 양질의 웹 서비스를 지원하고자 하는 노력으로, 많은 연구자들이 웹 통로에 대한 많은 연구로 좋은 결과를 내고 있다. 그러나 웹과 데이타베이스의 연동에 있어 필요한 웹 트랜잭션 처리시 발생하는 문제에 있어서는 아직까지 만족할 만한 연구결과가 제시되지 않고 있다.본 논문에서는 웹 통로에서 웹 트랜잭션 처리를 위한 시스템인 WebTP를 제안하고, 이를 구현하였다. WebTP는 워크, 워크-전역변수 등을 도입하여, 웹 응용 단위에서의 저장점 설치와 부분 철회와 트랜잭션 상태 관리 기법을 제공하여, 시스템의 가용성과 안정성을 높이며, 구조적인 웹 응용작성이 가능토록 하여, 복잡한 웹 응용 개발을 돕는다.Abstract Enabling users to access multi-media data like images and motion pictures, in addition to the traditional text-based data, Web becomes a popular platform for various applications. Recently, many researchers have paid a large amount of works on integrating Web and databases to improve the quality of Web services, and have produced many noticeable results on this area. However, no enough research results have been presented on processing Web transactions that are essential in integrating Web and databases.In this paper, we have designed and implemented WebTP, which is a Web transaction processing system for Web gateways to databases. WebTP, by introducing work and work-global-variables, provides a more robust state management, supports application-level savepoints and partial rollbacks. It also nhances productity by providing a modular way to develop Web applications.

Recently, web server hacking is trending toward web application hacking which uses comparatively vulnerable web applications based on open sources. And, it is possible to hack databases using web interfaces because web servers are usually connected databases. Web application attacks use vulnerabilities not in web server itself, but in web application structure, logical error and code error. It is difficult to defend web applications from various attacks by only using pattern matching detection method and code modification. In this paper, we propose a method to secure the web applications based on profiling which can detect and filter out abnormal web application requests.
