This paper discusses the model of bother cost and its application in web services that wish to obtain personal information from those users. Thereby, we propose a Comprehensive and Hierarchical Bother Cost Model (CHBCM) which extends traditional bother cost by including Web-specific factors for Web interactions. Simulation experiments show that the agent that uses a bother cost model has more benefit to the user and modeling bother cost is indeed worthwhile. Hence, Web intelligent agents that contain CHBCM can try to reduce unnecessary interruptions while obtaining the maximum amount of information from users.","PeriodicalId":192501,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07)","volume":"15 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134292970","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}

A spreadsheet is one of the most popular applications for office workers. It provides an end- user programming environment. In this paper, we propose a spreadsheet-based environment for end-users to orchestrate multiple Web applications. First, we provide a method for embedding various Web resources in spreadsheet cells as visual components in order to reuse them on the spreadsheet. Second, we propose an access method for embedded components using the special function in the formula language.

So far these analyses solely utilize graph structure. There is, however, another source of information available in messaging corpora, namely content. We propose to apply the field of content analysis to the process of social network analysis. By extracting relevant and cohesive sub-networks from massive graphs, we obtain information on the actors contained in such sub-networks to a much firmer degree than before.","PeriodicalId":192501,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123259109","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}

The problem is important because prediction of communication flow can impact timely sharing of specific information across a wide array of communities. We determine the intent to communicate and communication delay between users based on several contextual features in a social network corresponding to (a) neighborhood context, (b) topic context and (c) recipient context. The intent to communicate and communication delay are modeled as regression problems which are efficiently estimated using Support Vector Regression. We predict the intent and the delay, on an interval of time using past communication data. We have excellent prediction results on a real-world dataset from MySpace.com with an accuracy of 13-16%. We show that the intent to communicate is more significantly influenced by contextual factors compared to the delay.","PeriodicalId":192501,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121626130","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}

Grid services could easily be specified with web-service based interfaces. In this paper we first envisage a realistic Grid market with players such as end-users, brokers and service providers participating co-operatively with an aim to meet requirements and earn profit. End-users wish to use functionality of Grid services by paying the minimum possible price or price confined within a specified budget, brokers aim to maximise profit whilst establishing a SLA (Service Level Agreement) and satisfying end-user needs and at the same time resisting the volatility of service execution time and availability. Service providers aim to develop price models based on end-user or broker demands that will maximise their profit. In this paper we focus on developing stochastic approaches to end-user workflow scheduling that provides QoS guarantees by establishing a SLA. We also develop a novel 2-stage stochastic programming technique that aims at establishing a SLA with end-users regarding satisfying their workflow QoS requirements. We develop a scheduling (workload allocation) technique based on linear programming that embeds the negotiated workflow QoS into the program and model Grid services as generalised queues. This technique is shown to outperform existing scheduling techniques that don't rely on real-time performance information.","PeriodicalId":192501,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123831544","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}
