Currently, web syndication is usually utilized in desktop environments, but not considering mobile environments. In this paper, we focus on the extension of the desktop based web syndication to the mobile internet. Simply adapting the desktop based web syndication to mobile devices can cause high wireless internet communication cost. We propose PMS(Proxy-based Mobile Syndication) model which achieves low cost mobile syndication. In the PMS model, MWProxy is defined as a proxy server between mobile devices and web sites. It can reduce the communication cost by peeking up modified items from the web sites and reducing the channel size. In this paper, we designed and implemented the PMS system in a mobile phone and evaluated the performance of the PMS system by conducting real experiments using mobile emulators.

Recently, with the wide spread of the Internet and development of wireless network technology, it has now become possible to access web pages anytime, anywhere through devices with small display such as PDA But, since most existing web pages are optimized for desktop computers, browsing web pages on the small screen through wireless network requires more scrolling and longer loading time. In this paper, we propose a page reconstruction scheme called PageMap to make it feasible to navigate existing web pages through small screen devices even on the wireless connection. Reconstructed pages reduce the file and page size and thus eventually reduce resource requirements. We have Implemented a prototype system and performed several experiments for typical web sites. We report some of the results.

Remote control and monitoring of information appliances require RTOS and TCP/IP network module to communicate each other. Traditional TCP/IP protocol stacks, however, require relatively large resources to be useful in small 8 or 16-bit systems both in terms of code size and memory usage. It motivates design and implementation of micro TCP/IP that is lightweight for embedded systems. Micro embedded web server is also required to control and monitor information appliances through the Web. In this paper, we design and implement micro TCP/IP and Web server for information appliances. For this goal, we investigate requirements for the interoperability of embedded systems with the Internet and the Web-based control of embedded systems. Next, we compare our micro TCP/IP protocol stack with that of RTIP and QPlus in terms of object code size and performance. The size of micro TCP/IP protocol stack can be reduced by 3/2 and 1/4, respectively, comparing with that of RTIP and QPlus. We also show that the performance of our micro TCP/IP is similar to that of RTIP and QPlus since it handles 2.9Mbps when delayed ACK is not adapted.

In this paper, we propose the INDEM(Internet News Data Extraction Middleware) system for the removal of the unnecessary data in internet news. Although data on the internet can be used in various fields such as source of data of IR(Information Retrieval), Data mining and knowledge information service, it contains a lot of unnecessary information. The removal of the unnecessary data is a problem to be solved prior to the study of the knowledge-based information service that is based on the data of the web page. The INDEM system parses html and explores the XPath, and it is to perform the analysis. The user simply utilize INDEM by implementing an abstract class that provides INDEM, and can obtain the analysis information. INDEM System through this process delivers the analysis information including the main contents of news site to the users. In this paper, the INDEM system was adapted in a stand-alone and web service system and it was evaluated on the basis of 16 news site. As a result, performance of the INDEM system is affected in html source data size and complexity of used html grammar than the main news data size.

With the recent explosion in using of the Internet, the problem of caching web objects has gained considerable importance. Caching on the Internet differs from traditional caching in several ways. Especially, the conventional caching algorithms are not well suited for the Internet caching. The poor performance is mainly due to its unfair treatment of small objects since all the objects are treated the same even though they differ in size. In this paper, I give an overview of caching policies designed for web objects, and provide a new algorithm of my own. I also have performed trace-driven simulations about variable-size replacement algorithms, and derived a new algorithm to improve byte hit-ratio by classifying objects based on their sizes.

As the size of the web is growing explosively, search engines are becoming increasingly important as the primary means to retrieve information from the Internet. A search engine periodically downloads web pages and stores them in the database to provide readers with up-to-date search results. The web crawler is a program that downloads and stores web pages for this purpose. A large-scale search engines uses a parallel web crawler to retrieve the collection of web pages maximizing the download rate. However, the service architecture or experimental analysis of parallel web crawlers has not been fully discussed in the literature. In this paper, we propose an architecture of the parallel web crawler and discuss implementation issues in detail. The proposed parallel web crawler is based on the coordinator/agent model using multiple machines to download web pages in parallel. The coordinator/agent model consists of multiple agent machines to collect web pages and a single coordinator machine to manage them. The parallel web crawler consists of three components: a crawling module for collecting web pages, a converting module for transforming the web pages into a database-friendly format, a ranking module for rating web pages based on their relative importance. We explain each component of the parallel web crawler and implementation methods in detail. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments to analyze the effectiveness of the parallel web crawler. The experimental results clarify the merit of our architecture in that the proposed parallel web crawler is scalable to the number of web pages to crawl and the number of machines used.

현재 인터넷상의 QoS(Quality of Service) 향상을 위해서 여러 가지 방법과 기술들이 소개되고 있다. 이러한 QoS 향상을 위해 트래픽 제어기법과 IS(Integrated Services), DS(Differentiated Services), Tag Switching, MPLS(Multi protocol Label Switching) 등과 같은 방법으로 인터넷에서 보다 나은 서비스를 지원하려는 노력이 시도되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특히 TCP connection에서의 initial window size의 변경이 네트워크의 QoS, 즉 link의 utilization과 packet의 drop, performance에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 살펴본다. 그리고, 이에 대한 특성을 분석하고 개선점을 현재의 인터넷에서 가장 많이 사용되어지고 있는 FTP와 web에 대한 모델을 사용하여 가상적으로 시뮬레이션을 해본다.

Various types of digital displays from PC monitor up to smart watch have been developed in response to the dramatic technological progress of electronics. Accordingly, web content creators have the need to provide web contents respectively depending on the different display environments, which increases production time and costs. As a technique for overcoming this, the responsive web design method has been proposed, which means a web page with the size of the screen being adjusted depending on the types of display. Although the responsive web system is increasingly implemented in the region of contents search pages of domestic portals, there are still many cases that contents are implemented separately for PC and for mobile. In this paper, we investigate the responsive types of the web implementation of contents search pages of domestic portal, and propose an efficient new UI for responsive web to individual types of contents search pages which responsive design is not applied to.

In this study, I would like to suggest an idal model of web navigation design which can enhance users' web usability. I would like to prove that when users enjoy web navigation design, they access information much more effectively. Using a survey, I suggest some types of web navigation design for users. After that, I conducted an experiment with 4 types of web navigation designs, which have been developed to reflect varying stages of comprehensibility. My survey focused on three points. First I measured the time they spent to search for information. Secondly, I tested whether they lost their way while searching for information and if they did lose their way, I checked whether they could recover from their errors and find their way back. Thirdly, I investigated whether layout, location and size of the web navigation design factors affected usability. The results of my survey indicated that users spend the shortest time, have the easiest interface, and have least error incidence under the web navigation design to enhance old-aged users' web usability. Thus, developing a universal web navigation design can encourage people to be more involved with the internet.
