Metrology, the science of measurement, is very important in the development of science and engineering principles if any meaningful progress will be made in these fields. This concept also applies to computer security if decision makers are to rely on judgment based on metrics. Management needs to establish how secured their organizations are, the amount of resources to allocate to various comp...

Perceived responsiveness of a web page is one of the most important and least understood metrics of web page design, and is critical for attracting and maintaining a large audience. Web pages can be designed to meet performance SLAs early in the product lifecycle if there is a way to predict the apparent responsiveness of a particular page layout. Response time of a web page is largely influenc...

This paper presents a new, page-oriented model of WWW traffic, based on real HTTP traces taken from corporate and educational environments. It was designed to generate synthetic workload traffic for simulations of wireless systems. Taking into account the characteristics of this kind of simulation, we designed a structural, multilevel model based on the behaviour of WWW users. A three-level str...

1998 ABSTRACT i ABSTRACT Interest in the World Wide Web (WWW or web) is growing at a rapid pace. As more organisations and individuals seek a presence on the WWW, the size and complexity of web pages is growing at a rapid pace. However web page development is still predominantly performed in an ad hoc manner, often resulting in cost overruns, quality degradation, and maintenance problems. Altho...

World Wide Web is growing rapidly in recent years. User’s experience on the internet can be improved by minimizing user’s web access latency. This can be done by predicting the next step taken by user towards the accessing of web page in advance, so that the predicted web page can be prefetched and cached. So to improve the quality of web services, it is required to analyze the user web navigat...

The web page usage mining plays a vital role in enriching the page’s content and structure based on the feedbacks received from the user’s interactions with the page. This paper proposes a model for micro-managing the tracking activities by fine-tuning the mining from the page level to the segment level. The proposed model enables the web-master to identify the segments which receives more focu...

A WEB-page containing materials of comparing experimental data and UrQMD model calculations has been designed. The page provides its user with a variety of tasks solved with the help of the model, accuracy and/or quality of experimental data description, and so on. The page can be useful for new experimental data analysis, or new experimental research planning. The UrQMD model is cited in more ...

Accurate next web page prediction benefits many applications, e-business in particular. The most widely used techniques for this purpose are Markov Model, association rules and clustering. However, each of these techniques has its own limitations, especially when it comes to accuracy and space complexity. This paper presents an improved prediction accuracy and state space complexity by using no...

Although with the Semantic Web initiative much research on web page semantic annotation has already been done by AI researchers, linguistic text annotation, including the semantic one, was originally developed in Corpus Linguistics and its results have been somehow neglected by AI. The purpose of the research presented in this proposal is to prove that integration of results in both fields is n...

} The mechanistic smeared cracking model was extended from two to three dimensions (page 2). } Subcontinuum molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate oxide fuel grain boundary fractures during reactor transients (page 2). } An improved model of bubble and grain boundary interaction was developed (page 2). } Improved descriptions of fission-gas/grain boundary interactions and clust...
