The research of science and engineering needs the latest information from internet resources. But it is a complex and repeated procedure to search and filter web documents from the huge Internet resources. In this paper, we propose the PREA system, which can organize the research paper databases and search World Wide Web documents that the user is interested in. It observes the usage of the local Paper databases and presented web documents and then constructs a profile intelligently. However, to make a profile, we used the modified spreading activation network(MSAN) so that the PREA can search and filter web documents by semantic meaning of user's interest in realtime. The system constructed in multi-agents manner that can cooperate together effectively. The results show the effectiveness of our system to search web documents compared with a commercial search engine.

The purpose of this study is to develop portal web contents for nursing student's career search. The portal web contents named 'Nurse Dream' was designed and developed by using 134 nursing students' survey data and referring to expert consultation. 97.0% of respondents expressed intention of using website or application for career search if it is completed. What they want to know was 'income(19.0%)', 'qualifications for job(18.0%)', 'path to job(18.0%)'. With survey analysis and expert consultation, 'Nurse Dream' was designed to have various categories including 'Nurse Career Guidance', 'Nurse Recruitment'. Developing portal web contents suggests that it is possible for nursing students to get enough information for career search and enhance career satisfaction, which is likely to give them positive impact.

As the use of the Internet becomes more popular, a huge amount of information is published on the Web, and users can access the information effectively with Web search services. Since Web search services retrieve relevant documents from those collected by Web robots we need to improve the crawling quality of Web robots. In this paper, we suggest evaluation criteria for Web robots such as efficiency, continuity, freshness, coverage, silence, uniqueness and safety, and present various functions to improve the performance of Web robots. We also investigate the functions implemented in the conventional Web robots of NAVER, Google, AltaVista etc. It is expected that this study could contribute the development of more effective Web robots.

It is necessary to develop an efficient optimization technique to perform optimum designs which have given design spaces, discrete design values and several design goals. As optimization techniques, direct search method and stochastic search method are widely used in designing of ship structures. The merit of the direct search method is to search the optimum points rapidly by considering the search direction, step size and convergence limit. And the merit of the stochastic search method is to obtain the global optimum points well by spreading points randomly entire the design spaces. In this paper, Pareto Strategy (PS) multi-objective function method is developed by considering the search direction based on Pareto optimal points, the step size, the convergence limit and the random number generation. The success points between just before and current Pareto optimal points are considered. PS method can also apply to the single objective function problems, and can consider the discrete design variables such as plate thickness, longitudinal space, web height and web space. The optimum design results are compared with existing Random Search (RS) multi-objective function method and Evolutionary Strategy (ES) multi-objective function method by performing the optimum designs of double bottom structure and double hull tanker which have discrete design values. Its superiority and effectiveness are shown by comparing the optimum results with those of RS method and ES method.

This study aims to perform an evaluation of web-based encyclopedia services provided by major Korean search portals, Navel, Yahoo-Korea, Empas, and Daum. These encyclopedia services are evaluated in terms of the relevance, up-to-dateness, and multimedia features of search results. In conducting this study, real queries that real users submitted were used. This study also compares functional characteristics of these encyclopedia services. The results of this study can be implemented to the development and improvement of portal's encyclopedia services. Users can refer to the results of this study in choosing encyclopedia services from search portals.

This study proposes an expanded model of personalized search service based on community activities on a Korean Web portal. The model is composed of defining subject categories of users, providing personalized search results, and recommending additional subject categories and queries. Several experiments were performed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model. It was found that users' activities on community services provide valuable data for identifying their Interests, and the personalized search service increases users' satisfaction.

Fashion companies are using a big data approach as a key strategic analysis to predict and forecast sales. This study investigated the effectiveness of the past sales, web search volume, information amount, brand promotion, and the advertising endorser on the sales forecasting model. The study conducted the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) time series model using the internal and external social big data of a national fashion brand. Results indicated that the brand's past sales, search volume, promotion, and amount of advertising endorser information amount significantly affected the sales forecast, whereas the brand's advertising endorser search volume and information amount did not significantly influence the sales forecast. Moreover, the brand's promotion had the highest correlation with sales forecasting. This study adds to information-searching behavior theory by measuring consumers' brand involvement. Last, this study provides digital marketers with implications for developing profitable marketing strategies on the basis of consumers' interest in the brand and advertising endorser.

With the growing number of web services, there arise issues of finding suitable services. But, the traditional keyword search method is insufficient for two reasons: (1) this does not capture the underlying semantics of web services. (2) this does not suffice for accurately specifying users' information needs. In order to overcome limitations of this keyword search method, we propose a novel syntactic analysis and ontology learning method. The syntactic analysis method gives us a breadth of coverage for common terms, while the ontology learning method gives a depth of coverage by providing relationships. By combining these two methods, we hope to improve both the recall and the precision. We describe an experimental study on a collection of 508 web services that shows the high recall and precision of our method.

Personalized web search engine provides personalized results to users by query expansion, re-ranking or other methods representing user's intention. The personalized result page includes URL, page title and small text fragment of each web document. which is known as snippet. The snippet is the summary of the document which includes the keywords issued by either user or search engine itself. Users can verify the relevancy of the whole document using only the snippet, easily. The document summary (snippet) is an important information which makes users determine whether or not to click the link to the whole document. Hence, if a search engine generates personalized document summaries, it can provide a more satisfactory search results to users. In this paper, we propose a personalized document summary system for personalized web search engines. The proposed system provides increased degree of satisfaction to users with marginal overhead.

Subtopic mining is the extraction and ranking of possible subtopics, which disambiguate and specify the search intentions of an input query in terms of relevance, popularity, and diversity. This paper describes the limitations of previous studies on the utilization of web resources, and proposes a subtopic mining method with a two-level hierarchy based on hierarchical search intentions and web resources, in order to overcome these limitations. Considering the characteristics of resources provided by the official subtopic mining task, we extract various second-level subtopics reflecting hierarchical search intentions from web documents, and expand and re-rank them using other provided resources. Terms in subtopics with wider search intentions are used to generate first-level subtopics. Our method performed better than state-of-the-art methods in almost every aspect.
