Social Networks which is composed of network with an individual in the center in a web support mutual-understanding of information by searching user profile and forming new link. Therefore, if we apply the Social Network which consists of web users who have similar immanent information to web search, we can improve efficiency of web search and satisfaction of web user about search results. In this paper, first, we make a Social Network using web users linked directly or indirectly. Next, we calculate Similarity among web users using their immanent information according to topics, and then reconstruct Social Network based on varying Similarity according to topics. Last, we compare Similarity with Search Pattern. As a result of this test, we can confirm a result that among users who have high relationship index, that is, who have strong link strength according to personal attributes have similar search pattern. If such fact is applied to search algorithm, it can be possible to improve search efficiency and reliability in personalized and social search.

Users who use Web site wish to get information conveniently. To users who web site operators use Web site differentiation to provide done service pattern analysis by user do must. Association rule is one of data Mining techniques for pattern discovery. If search for pattern by user, differentiation by user done service offer can. Association rule search result that pattern by user can know, and considers web page visiting time for association rule search differentiation done web structure service and recommendation service possible.

A visual stress may provoke migraine, cephalalgia, intervene a long term reading and learning capability and reduce the productivity of a laborer who uses computer for a good while. In this study, a web based screening tool for visual stress was developed, it applied to 72 visually normal young persons in parallel with traditional questionnaire about symptoms of visual stress. To estimate visual stress, It is proposed to measure difference of visual search time of Han Gul characters as targets between visual stressful pattern and non-visual stressful pattern as global background of characters. As a result of test, 5 subjects were screened whose mean visual search time in the stressful pattern with 6 CPD spatial frequency increase significantly more than in none stressful pattern(t-test, one-tailed, p=$1.0407\times10^{-11}$). 2 of them were diagnosed as mild visual stress syndrome in the clinic. None had visual distortion and 50% of subjects had visual discomfort in results of the questionnaire. Correlation between visual search time increase rate and normalized number of visual discomfort may be slight(C. coefficient=0.1355). This study may contribute as a basic research for screening person with migraine, visual reading disabilities and VDT syndrome. It is required to apply the test to visual reading disabilities, migraine with visual distortion and/or visual discomfort as well as normal person for higher reliability of the screening tool.

The purpose of this study is to identify th patterns in the news reporters' information seeking behaviors by observing their web activities. For this purpose, transaction logs collected from 23 news reporters were analyzed. Web tracking software was installed to collect the data from their PCs, and a total of 39,860 web logs were collected in two weeks. Start and end pattern of sessions, transitional pattern by step, sequence rule model was analyzed and the pattern of Internet use was compared with the general public. the analysis of pattern derived a web information seeking behavior modes that consists of four types of behaviors: fact-checking browsing, fact-checking search, investigative browsing and investigative search.

Even though information in many languages other than English is quickly increasing, English is still playing the role of the lingua franca and being accounted for the largest proportion on the web. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the key features and differences between "information searching behavior using mother tongue as a search language" and "information searching behavior using English as a search language" of users who are non-mother tongue speakers of English to acquire more diverse and abundant information. This study conducted the experiment on the web searching which is applied in concurrent think-aloud method to examine the information searching behavior and the cognitive process in Korean search and English search through the twenty-four undergraduate students at a private university in South Korea. Based on the qualitative data, this study applied the frequency analysis to web search pattern under search language. As a result, it is active, aggressive and independent information searching behavior in Korean search, while information searching behavior in English search is passive, submissive and dependent. In Korean search, the main features are the query formulation by extract and combine the terms from various sources such as users, tasks and system, the search range adjustment in diverse level, the smooth filtering of the item selection in search engine results pages, the exploration and comparison of many items and the browsing of the overall contents of web pages. Whereas, in English search, the main features are the query formulation by the terms principally extracted from task, the search range adjustment in limitative level, the item selection by rely on the relevance between the items such as categories or links, the repetitive exploring on same item, the browsing of partial contents of web pages and the frequent use of language support tools like dictionaries or translators.

Since the existing Web search engines don't sufficiently reflect user's search intent, it is very difficult to find out accurate information that users want to find. Therefore, a lot of researches, study for personalized search, to enhance satisfaction of Web search results by analyzing search pattern and applying it to search are in progress in these days. Web searchers can more efficiently find information and easily obtain appropriate information through the personalized search. In this paper, we propose the personalized search based on community through the analysis of web users' query patterns and interest. Consequently, when applying query frequency, interest and community to web search, we are able to the confirm that the search results which hit to the search intent of the individual are provided.

Recently various of information suppliers provide information via WWW so the necessary of search engine grows larger. However the efficiency of most search engines is low comparatively because of using simple pattern match technique between user's query and web document. And a manifest contents of query for special expert field so much worse A specialized search engine returns the specialized information depend on each user's search goal. It is trend to develop specialized search engines in many countries. For example, in America, there are a site that searches only the recently updated headline news and the federal law and the government and and so on. However, most such engines don't satisfy the user's needs. This paper proposes the specialized search engine for ocean information that uses user's query related with ocean and search engine uses the association rules in web data mining. So specialized search engine for ocean provides more information related to ocean because of raising recall about user's query

There have been researches about analyzing the information retrieval patterns of log file to efficiently obtain the users' information research patters in web environment. The methods frequently used in their researches is to suggest the algorithms by which the frequent one is derived from the path traversal patterns in efficient way. But one of their general problems is not to provide the proper solution in case of complex, that is, general topological patterns. Therefore this paper tries to suggest a efficient algorithm after defining the general information retrieval pattern.

웹 사용 마이닝은 데이터마이닝을 바탕으로 사용자의 로그 파일 정보를 이용하여 웹이 이용되는 패턴을 발견한다. 이를 이용하여 웹을 개선하여 사용자들이 보다 빨리 원하는 내용을 검색할 수 있도록 할 수 있으며 시스템 관리자에게는 효율적인 웹 구조를 인한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 웹 사용 마이닝에서 사용하는 데이터는 성형화되어 있지 않으며 웹 사용 패턴을 분석하는데 방해가 되는 잡음 데이터까지 포함하고 있다. 이것은 기존에 개발된 여러 데이터마이닝 기법을 적용하는데 어려움으로 작용한다. 이러한 어려움을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 새로운 방법을 도입한 SPMiner을 .제안한다. SPMiner는 웹의 구조를 이용하여 로그 파일의 전처리 과정을 줄이며 사용자의 탐색 패턴 분석을 효율적으로 수행 할 수 있는 시스템이다. SPMiner는 WebTree 에이전트를 이용하여 웹 사이트 구조를 분석하여 WebTree를 생성하고 사용자 로그 파일을 분석하여 각 웹 페이지의 사용빈도에 대한 정보를 추출한다. WebTree와 로그 파일에서 추출된 웹 페이지에 대한 정보는 SPMiner에 의해 패턴을 분석할 퍼 이용될 수 있는 형태인 WebTree$^{+}$로 병합된다 WebTree$^{+}$는 패턴 발견을 쉽게 해주며 사용자에게 추천할 정보나 웹 페이지를 능동적으로 추천할 수 있게 만들어 준다.
