Therefore, sophisticated Semantic Web applications typically comprise more than one software module. Instead of coming up with proprietary solutions, developers should be able to rely on a generic infrastructure for application development in this context. We call such an infrastructure Application Server for the Semantic Web whose design and development are based on existing Application Servers. However, we apply and augment their underlying concepts for use in the Semantic Web and integrate semantic technology within the server itself. We provide a short overview of requirements and design issues of such a server and present our implementation and ongoing work KAON SERVER.","PeriodicalId":409891,"journal":{"name":"WWW Alt.

The students navigate through the web based virtual campus interacting with learning resources which are structured following the SCORM e-learning standard. Our main goal is to design a usage mining tool for analyzing such user navigational behavior and for extracting relevant information that can be used to validate several aspects related to virtual campus design and usability but also to determine the optimal scheduling for each course depending on user profile. We intend to extend these quencing capabilities of the SCORM standard to include the concept of recommended itinerary, by combining teachers expertise with learned experience acquired by system usage analysis.","PeriodicalId":409891,"journal":{"name":"WWW Alt.

In response to the two challenges, we propose a generic framework, where we apply Data Mining techniques to large web data sets and use Information Visualization methods on the results. The goal is to correlate the outcomes of mining Web Usage Logs and the extracted Web Structure by visually superimposing the results.

Theoretical analysis and performance evaluation show that the space requirement of StreamPath is limited to a logarithmic boundary, and the execution time, compared with previous multiple-pass algorithms [2], is fast.","PeriodicalId":409891,"journal":{"name":"WWW Alt.
