Web Browsing by Example
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter describes programming by example (PBE) techniques to automate daily Web browsing tasks. A number of research efforts have tried to solve two major problems of PBE: difficulties in inferring user intent behind examples and low accessibility to application’s internal data. However, these problems can be avoided in the Web-browsing domain, and practical PBE systems can be developed. Internet Scrapbook and SmallBrowse are presented here as two examples of such practical systems.
