Discovering relationships and global patterns that exist in such files can provide significant and useful information for performance enhancement, restructuring a Web site for increased effectiveness, and customer targeting in electronic commerce. In this paper, we propose an integrated system (WebTool) for applying data mining techniques such as association rules or sequential patterns on access log files. Once interesting patterns are discovered, we illustrate how they can be used to customize the server hypertext organization dynamically.","PeriodicalId":147920,"journal":{"name":"SIGWEB Newsl.","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130158855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This led to the new major research area computer-supported cooperative (or collaborative) learning. We propose an approach to hypermedia-based collaborative learning environments which supports a wide range of synchronous and asynchronous types of cooperative learning as well as smooth transitions between these learning modes. A framework for building such environments consisting of virtual learning rooms, learning nets, and learning protocol is presented. These concepts are implemented in the CROCODILE prototype developed at GMDIPSI.","PeriodicalId":147920,"journal":{"name":"SIGWEB Newsl.","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117317452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
