How to Build Modeling Agents to Support Web Searchers
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we sketch a model of what people do when they search for information on the web. From a theoretical perspective, our interest lies in the cognitive processes and internal representations that are both used in and affected by the search for information. From a practical perspective, our aim is to provide personal support for informationsearching and to effectively transfer knowledge gained by one person to another. Toward these ends, we first collected behavioral data from people searching for information on the web; we next analyzed these data to learn what the searchers were doing and thinking; and we then constructed specific web agents to support searching behaviors we identified.

We systematically overview the literature in keyword search and propose several promising research directions. The paper is organized by each agent in the search process; searchers, advertisers and the search engine and reviews the key research issues for each. For each group, we outline the decision process involved in keyword search. For searchers, this involves what to search, where to searc...
متن کاملTowards Modeling Web Service Composition in UML
This paper focuses on how to model and build composite web services from already existing services. We build on the experience in workflow modeling and see if the principles are applicable to the web service domain. It is revealed that there are particular needs for web services that are not fully captured by traditional workflow modeling. UML is used as the modeling tool for capturing these ne...
متن کامل"Irrational" searchers and IR-rational researchers
In this article we look at the prescriptions advocated by Web search textbooks in the light of a selection of empirical data of real Web information search processes. We use the strategy of disjointed incrementalism, which is a theoretical foundation from decision making, to focus on how people face complex problems, and claim that such problem solving can be compared to the tasks searchers per...
