Eventual consistency of replicated data supports concurrent updates, reduces latency and improves fault tolerance, but forgoes strong consistency. Accordingly, several cloud computing platforms implement eventually-consistent data types.…
This study concerns the security challenges that the people face in the usage and implementation of cloud computing. Despite its growth in the past few decades, this platform has experienced different challenges. They all arise from the…
In recent years studying the content of the World Wide Web became a very important yet rather difficult task. There is a need for a compression technique that would allow a web graph representation to be put into the memory while…
Rapid response, namely low latency, is fundamental in search applications; it is particularly so in interactive search sessions, such as those encountered in conversational settings. An observation with a potential to reduce latency asserts…
Is software obsolescence a significant risk? To explore this issue, we analysed a corpus of over 2.5 billion resources corresponding to the UK Web domain, as crawled between 1996 and 2010. Using the DROID and Apache Tika identification…
Caching is an approach to smoothen the variability of traffic over time. Recently it has been proved that the local memories at the users can be exploited for reducing the peak traffic in a much more efficient way than previously believed.…
When a user views an archived page using the archive's user interface (UI), the user selects a datetime to view from a list. The archived web page, if available, is then displayed. From this display, the web archive UI attempts to simulate…
As the shortcomings of our current Internet become more and more obvious, researchers have started creating alternative approaches for the Internet of the future. Their design goals are mainly content-orientation, security, support for…
Personal and private Web archives are proliferating due to the increase in the tools to create them and the realization that Internet Archive and other public Web archives are unable to capture personalized (e.g., Facebook) and private…
One utilisation of multidimensional databases is the field of On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP). The applications in this area are designed to make the analysis of shared multidimensional information fast [9]. On one hand, speed can be…
Online misinformation remains a critical challenge, and fact-checkers increasingly rely on claim matching systems that use sentence embedding models to retrieve relevant fact-checks. However, as users interact with claims online, they often…
Context information is in demand more than ever with the rapid increase in the number of context-aware Internet of Things applications developed worldwide. Research in context and context-awareness is being conducted to broaden its…
The growth of video streaming has stretched the Internet to its limitation. In other words, the Internet was originally devised to connect a limited number of computers so that they can share network resources, so the Internet cannot handle…
Distributed systems often serve dynamic workloads and resource demands evolve over time. Such a temporal behavior stands in contrast to the static and demand-oblivious nature of most data structures used by these systems. In this paper, we…
Traditionally, the efficiency and effectiveness of search systems have both been of great interest to the information retrieval community. However, an in-depth analysis of the interaction between the response latency and users' subjective…
In the on-line file-caching problem problem, the input is a sequence of requests for files, given on-line (one at a time). Each file has a non-negative size and a non-negative retrieval cost. The problem is to decide which files to keep in…
In-degree, PageRank, number of visits and other measures of Web page popularity significantly influence the ranking of search results by modern search engines. The assumption is that popularity is closely correlated with quality, a more…
Nowadays, many web databases "hidden" behind their restrictive search interfaces (e.g., Amazon, eBay) contain rich and valuable information that is of significant interests to various third parties. Recent studies have demonstrated the…
World Wide Web is a huge data repository and is growing with the explosive rate of about 1 million pages a day. As the information available on World Wide Web is growing the usage of the web sites is also growing. Web log records each…
Researchers in the Digital Humanities and journalists need to monitor, collect and analyze fresh online content regarding current events such as the Ebola outbreak or the Ukraine crisis on demand. However, existing focused crawling…
