Research, Teaching, Advising, and Administration

A Statement of My Current Research, Teaching, Advising, and Administration

Wen-Chen Hu, Department of Computer Science, University of North Dakota

Computer science is an ever-changing discipline and I always try to keep up with it. My research started with programming languages and compilers when I was a graduate student in the 1980s. For my master thesis, I developed a LISP/PROLOG mixed language programming environment for AI (artificial intelligence) developers by writing about 20,000 lines of C code. Image storage and retrieval were the topics of my PhD study as I were supported by the US military research projects. In the mid-1990s, when the Web started blooming, I began working on the web data indexing, searching, and mining. I created an online image database based on a linear skeleton representation for my PhD research. Mobile/handheld computing is the next milestone of computer science because global shipments of smartphones had reached 1 billion in 2014 according to Gartner, a market research company. As the e-commerce gradually moved towards m-commerce in the early 2000s, mobile commerce and computing became my research focal points. My current research interests include handheld/mobile/smartphone/spatial/tablet computing, location-based services, web-enabled information system such as search engines and web mining, electronic and mobile commerce systems, and web technologies. In a nutshell, my current research interests include the following five areas:
  • Spatial computing: It is one of the location-based research and refers to the computing related to space including spatial data structures, spatial databases, spatial data mining, and spatial statistics. One of the spatial computing examples is to predict spatial trajectories.

  • Location-based research: It is research based on the geographical position of a mobile handheld device. A variety of research and applications can be found from this subject. One of the examples is to protect mobile data by using handheld usage pattern matching.

  • Mobile/handheld computing: Handheld computing is the programming for handheld devices such as smartphones, and it can be divided into two kinds of programming: client and server -side mobile/handheld programming, which are the development of software on handheld devices and server, respectively.

  • Web information retrieval: With that size of web data, it is virtually impossible to manage the Web with the traditional computer technologies. Therefore, how to effectively and efficiently retrieve information from the Web becomes a major research topic.

  • Web data mining: Web usage mining is used to discover interesting user navigation patterns, which can be used to improve web sites, e.g., web site (re)organizing, user behavior studies, making additional topic or product recommendations, etc.
In addition, interdisciplinary research is important in these days, and I welcome cooperation with people from all areas. Three of my research areas in which others may be interested:
  • Data processing and databases: They include data preparation, data indexing and storage, and data processing and analysis. In addition, databases are indispensable for most of the functions.

  • Information retrieval and data mining: Once the data is processed, relevant information can be found by using various information retrieval technologies such as relevance feedback, and its hidden knowledge can be discovered by using data mining like artificial neural networks.

  • Web and mobile computing: Many web technologies like ASP.NET and LAMP and web research such as web mining have been applied to my research. Web is essential, but the trend is moving towards mobile computing. Android is the major platform for mobile apps, and various mobile research such as location- based computing and mobile usage pattern mining has been investigated by me.
I am also interested in working on mobile and electronic commerce system construction. This construction involves a wide variety of computer techniques and knowledge which include web interface studies, web-enabled database construction, and various web programming languages and tools, for example, AJAX, ASP.NET, CGI, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, etc. These areas are the most up-to-date research topics and I have published several articles for each area. I have published more than 100 refereed research papers, edited more than 10 books and conference proceedings, and solely authored a research book:
Internet-enabled handheld devices, computing, and programming: mobile commerce and personal data applications
After many years’ teaching in the US universities, I realize how much students have learned is more important than how much I teach to them. I strongly believe education is to help and guide students to become better (IT) persons by encouraging them to learn as much as possible, but avoiding punishing/failing students just because they are not able to achieve the educational goals. With or without textbooks, each course offered by me provides award-winning, informative, and interactive lecture notes and detailed and precise class instructions. Collectively, the lecture notes and instructions are more like a small book, which supplies much more information than regular notes do and makes the subject studies much easier. Students highly praised the second-to-none lecture notes as they were of great help to their learning. Some of them even use the notes while they work for the industry after graduation. Most likely, you may not be able to find any references to beat my lecture notes on the subjects. Other than effective learning, I also believe students reach their full potential only if the classes are well organized and managed and instructions are clearly handed out based on my experience of two-year military training as an army officer. In my classes, fairness is the principle utmostly held. Students receive the grades they deserve solely based on how well they accomplish in the classes according to the class instructions provided. In addition, the educational experience of “learn by practicing” is important to me. All my classes and students have to do hands-on lab works and projects as well as subject studies, all of which use up-to-date and state-of-the-art knowledge and technologies and will pave the way for students’ future careers. I have been teaching at the US universities for more than 20 years. The following list shows a range of courses being taught by me:
  1. CSCI 101 Introduction to Computers
  2. CSCI 250 Computer Organization and Programming
  3. CSCI 260 .NET and Web Programming

Research Interests

My current research interests include handheld/mobile/smartphone/spatial computing, location-based services, web-enabled information system such as search engines and web mining, electronic and mobile commerce systems, and web technologies. (Smartphone Research)

Computer science is different from many other disciplines (like electrical engineering). It is more like a professional school (such as culinary schools), which emphasizes practical works instead of subject studies because many IT companies want the new recruitees to start contributing immediately. There are three kinds of computing personnel:

  • Developers:

    • Positions (plenty): Developers of front-end and back-end web pages, mobile apps, and all kinds of software
    • Skills (more stable): Programming languages (such as C++ and Java), web programming, mobile app development, data processing and management including databases, and data structures & algorithms

  • Practitioners:

    • Positions (not many): Experienced personnel like data scientists, database or system administrators, security analysts, and network architects (more applications & configuration and less development)
    • Skills (based on the needs of companies): Databases, data warehousing, data lake, Hadoop, MapReduce, Linux, SPSS, SAS, Cogno, Matlab, Tableau, etc.

  • Researchers:

    • Industrial positions (few and based on the needs of corporations): High quality personnel required for the advanced areas like artificial intelligence, security, computer vision, autonomous driving, and speech recognition
    • Academic positions/trends (few and changed according to the government policies): ❓ ⇐ artificial intelligence ⇐ big data ⇐ high-performance computing ⇐ security ⇐ (mobile) networks
Unless you have an impressive resume or a strong connection, practicing tens or hundreds of questions posted at the LeetCode is a must in order to secure a job at corporations (like Google and Facebook). Otherwise, your chance of answering the questions correctly is low because of their high difficulty and time constraint. In addition, you need to create LinkedIn pages to show your achievements, and may consider uploading your projects to the GitHub to showcase them.

Before starting your graduate study, read the following pages very carefully
Instead of asking your advisor what to do, tell her/him what you plan to do. By doing this way, it could save your time and effort tremendously. For graduate research assistantships, contact each professor individually; and for graduate teaching assistantships, contact the Graduate Director.

Before doing your research, pick your advisor based on the following methods:
  • Popularity: Students are smart and they tend to follow everyone’s approach. This way guarantees the safest way because everyone’s choice is usually the best choice. Ask your fellow students who the popular professors are.

  • Taking classes: You will know the professors’ research, standards, and styles after taking their classes. If you like them, you may pick her/him as your advisor.

  • Trendy research: For example, the current trendy research is AI, and the research trend is ❓ ⇐ artificial intelligence ⇐ big data ⇐ high-performance computing ⇐ security ⇐ (mobile) networks.

  • Research interests: Pick an advisor based on their research interests.
After picking the popular research you want to pursue, take the following steps to conduct research:
  1. Find a problem.
  2. Study related literature and methods.
  3. Design a new method or adapt an existing method to suit the problem.
  4. Figure out how to improve the accuracy, effectiveness, or performance of the method.
  5. Complete the implementation, testing, and comparisons.
  6. Publish the results and apply the method to the problem.
Below is a list of topics that I plan to do or have been accomplished by me before:

Mobile Text Message Management
“Mobile Text Information Preprocessing”
Before processing the mobile text messages, the following steps of preprocessing could be applied to the messages:
  1. Lexical analysis, which is the process of converting the input stream of characters of a message into a stream of words. For example, it breaks the string “The COVID-19 vaccines were not properly tested.” into nine words “The,” “COVID-19,” “vaccines,” “were,” “not,” “properly,” and “tested.”
  2. Stopword removal, which is to remove the trivial words, like a, the, and on, from the messages. For example, this step drops the stopwords “The,” “were,” and “not” from the above sentence.
  3. Stemming, which is the process for reducing inflected words to their stem. For example, “vaccines” becomes “vaccine,” and “tested” becomes “test.”
  4. Thesaurus construction, which is to find synonyms for keyword matching. For example, the terms “COVID-19,” “Omicron,” “Delta virus,” “Coronavirus,” and “BA.4” could be treated the same.
  5. Database, which saves related information about text messages such as the skeleton messages and their corresponding classes used by the next step.
After the Step 4, the messages are called skeleton messages.

Misinformation Detection
“Five Classes of Short Text Messages”
It is too simple to classify a mobile text message as either true or fake because some other classes exist. A message could be categorized into one of the following five classes:
  1. True, which is true information and is without a doubt. For example, it is true that the COVID-19 vaccine is effective because it has been authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and vaccine programs have begun across the country.
  2. Fake, which is incorrect indisputably. For example, it is an obviously fake news that the COVID-19 vaccine contains microchips for government tracking because the current technology has not been this advanced yet.
  3. Misinformative, which is false or out-of-context information that is intentionally or unintentionally presented as fact to deceive.
  4. Disinformative, which is a type of misinformation that is intentionally delivered the false or misleading information to deceive or mislead readers.
  5. Neutral, which cannot be decided by the proposed method.
The differences between misinformation and disinformation are not distinct. This research treats the former as a mistake. If the information is intentionally to deceive, it is classified as disinformation. Otherwise, it is misinformation. That is misinformation actively demonstrates the information that is communicated to mislead, whereas disinformation can be recognized as malicious tricks and computational publicity.

Privacy Preservation for Misinformation Management
“Privacy Preservation for Continuous Location-Based Misinformation Services”
Several terms are given first before the research methods are explained:
  • Location-based information (LBI), which is the information related to locations like a post of concerts,
  • Continuous location-based information (CLBI), which is a kind of LBI and the information is continuously received according to the user’s current locations such as the ads of gas stations in a trip,
  • Location-based misinformation (LBMI), which is a kind of LBI but is with incorrect or misleading information like a post of out-of-date concerts, and
  • Continuous location-based misinformation (CLBMI), which is a kind of LBMI and the misinformation is continuously received according to the user’s current locations such as the ads of closed gas stations in a trip.
The LBMI is received based on the user’s current location; e.g., a movie theater is suggested but showing a different movie from the one sent. Whereas, the CLBMI is received according to the user’s continuous locations during a trip. For example, a user plans a flexible trip starting from source, restaurant, rest stops, beach, gas station, and destination. During the trip, the user may need to handle misinformation like out-of-date concerts or out-of-reach gas stations. Both LBMI and CLBMI are from location-based services (LBS), of which privacy is one of the critical issues. Without proper privacy preservation, users would be reluctant to use the services. The most common way to preserve privacy for the location-based information (LBI) is using dummy locations to conceal the true location. However, preserving privacy for CLBI is more difficult.

In the Aftermath of Misinformation Identification
“Text Data Negation and Similarity Measurement for Misinformation Management”
Various methods are used to identify misinformation, and significant progress has been made. The methods usually notify users whether the information is true or fake, and not much else is provided. Other than the true or false answer, users may want more functions to be given. Some of the functions could be as follows. If the information is found to be fake, then what is the true information? How could the true information override the misinformation, so the mistake would not be made next time? In addition, is there a way to find out that the result is a false alarm? Simply providing the true or false answer for misinformation identification does not close the loop. This research discusses how to find the true information in the aftermath of misinformation detection by using several methods of text data processing.

Misinformation Detection Using ChatGPT
“Combining ChatGPT and Recurrent Neural Network to Identify Mobile Misinformation”
The misinformation problem has plagued people for a long time and causes serious trouble. Though there is no method that can solve the problem satisfactorily so far, each method has its own advantages. At the same time, the popular ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is used extensively and intensively in these days. Misinformation detection could be one of the functions provided by ChatGPT. However, like other methods, ChatGPT has its own advantages and disadvantages. This research first investigates the effectiveness of the application of mobile misinformation detection using ChatGPT.

Web Location Privacy Preservation
“Vigorous Location Privacy Protection Using Dummy Locations for Location-Based Services”
Instead of generating discrete dummy locations whenever a service is requested, this research creates the dummy locations from the endpoints of the dummy routes, which are generated incrementally. The method is explained as follows:
  1. Dummy locations are generated based on the true location when the first service is requested.
  2. Whenever a service is requested subsequently, it incrementally creates a true route where the start location is the first true location and the end location is the current true position.
  3. Similarly, it extends the dummy routes where the start locations are the first dummy locations and the end locations are randomly generated by following the features described below.
This method is more secure since the dummy locations are based on dummy routes instead of the true locations.

Mobile Misinformation Classification and Management
“Effective Misinformation Organization and Management Using Data Classification”
With the ubiquitous social media and networking services, everyone could be a commentator or reporter nowadays. This information explosion benefits most people, but it may also cause a great negative impact like making people refuse to take COVID-19 vaccine because of fake information sent intentionally or unintentionally. Hence, misinformation identification and management is critical before people can actually benefit from the information they receive. Misinformation usually needs to be organized and saved in databases before identification and management can be applied. This research is to organize misinformation according to its types such as health, politics, and businesses, so the detection can use the results to identify misinformation better.

Mobile Misinformation Identification and Management
“A 3D Similarity Matrix for Mobile Health Text Misinformation Identification”
Mobile health text messages could be true, fake, or controversial. This research does not judge their correctness by its own standards. Instead, it tries to classify the messages as one of the five categories (true, fake, misinformative, disinformative, and neutral) based on previous known messages, and lets users to judge the correctness of the messages by themselves according to our recommendations. The 3D similarity matrix, which is used to classify the incoming mobile messages into the five classes by comparing the incoming message to the known messages saved in the database.

Privacy-Preserving Continuous LBS
“A Robust Privacy-Preserving Method for Continuous Location-Based Services”
A critical issue for LBS (location-based service) adaptation is user privacy preservation. If the LBS does not well protect its users’ privacy, they will hesitate to use the service. A common method used by location-based services to preserve user privacy is to send a couple of dummy locations along with the true location to the service provider, so the provider would not know which is the true location. This method is simple and effective. However, most LBS users will keep using the LBS continuously, instead of one time only. If it is not carefully planned, using the dummy locations for continuous LBS may reveal users’ true locations. Therefore, this research is to present a robust method to preserve users’ privacy for continuous location-based services by using the following steps:

Dummy Locations
“Mobile Users Versus Service Providers in Privacy Preservation Using Dummy Locations”
Location-based services (LBS) are extremely popular in these days. Mobile users use the services such as GPS and Google Maps almost every day to assist their daily activities like finding a restaurant or looking for an apartment. However, in order to use the services, users have to share their location information with the service providers. This requirement may hold back the service adaptation since users may not like to share their locations with others. One common method to preserve user privacy is to send a couple of dummy locations along with the true location to the service providers, so the provider would not be able to tell which location is true. This method is simple and effective, but it also has some drawbacks that make the privacy safeguarding fragile. For example, the 4 million miles of roads covered in the US is only a fraction of a percent of the total land area in the lower 48 states. If the dummy locations are not carefully planned, they may land on fields or water and could be easily perceived as fake.

Location-Based Services
“Finding a Shortest Safe Path by Avoiding the Hazardous Hotspots”
The COVID-19 would not be the last deadly virus, and it would likely become a norm later because various kinds of virus may emerge to harm human beings from time to time. People have to start taking the danger into consideration in their daily lives. One of the daily activities that people commonly take is traveling from one place to another place. During the trip, people may pass through or by some hazardous hotspots like places plagued by virus, and it should be avoided if possible. This research tries to mitigate the problem by proposing a method that finds a shortest path between two locations and the path will avoid unsafe spots as it possibly could. The hazardous hotspots and their related data can be found from various sources like CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and Google Maps, and they are constantly saved and updated in a database. There may have numerous paths and spots/cities between the source and destination. The proposed method removes the hotspots from our consideration based on our needs and comes up with a new graph/map. An algorithm of finding the shortest path is then applied to this new graph. Because the unsafe spots have been removed from the path, the path would be a shortest safe path. In addition, Android Google Maps API is used to facilitate the implementation as map applications could be very complicated. The COVID-19 has led the world to catastrophe, and it is expected more pandemics will follow. This research tries to help relieve a pandemic by proposing a method of finding a shortest safe path by avoiding the hazardous hotspots.

Mobile Misinformation Detection I
“Detecting Mobile Misinformation by Using Mobile Text Mining”
Smartphones are indispensable devices for people in these days, and tens or even hundreds of messages are sent to each device every day. All kinds of information can be found from the messages such as news, greetings from family members or friends, advertisements, promotions, weather reports, etc. People are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information and they spend much time to sort out a way to find relevant information from the messages. Even worse is some messages give false or fake information, and mislead the viewers consequently. This research tries to automatically classify the messages received by a device into several categories such as advertisements, news, messages from family or friends, announcements, etc. even misinformation by using various mobile text/data mining technologies. The proposed method takes the following steps:

Keeping Track of Social Distance
“Enforcing the Social Distance by Using a Location-Based Service”
The COVID-19 has brought a catastrophe to the world. Two effective ways to stop the spreading of virus are to wear masks and keep social distance in public places. Many times, people just forget keeping the distance from others because it requires constant vigilance. In addition, once a person is tested positive coronavirus, she/he either forgets who having a close contact with her/him before or is too sick to recall it. This research is to help combatting the COVID-19 by using a location-based service (LBS) to keep tracking of social distance. The LBS app will alert people when they are too close to others based on the locations it receives. In addition, it will record whoever has been in a close contact with them, so when the worst (tested positive) happens, related people will be warned or may be quarantined or tested if needed.

Mobile Misinformation Detection II
“Detecting Mobile Misinformation Based on the Sender Credibility”
People are aware that misinformation is everywhere on the Internet, so they are cautious about the contents they actively find on the Internet like health advices or celebrity news. Nowadays, with the mobile information sent to people's devices constantly, the mobile misinformation causes more harm than ever such as false financial news or fake information trying to sabotage political foes. This research tries to mitigate the problem by warning people the mobile data they receive may not be accurate or may even cause harm. The detection rates the mobile information according to the credibility of the senders (including organizations, groups, and individuals), which is calculated based on their previous records and the number and quality of their followers. For example, if the information is sent by a tabloid, which has a subpar reputation, it may rate the information low. On the other hand, the information is rated highly if it is sent by a news agency, which has a good record and many quality followers. Mobile users receive a significant amount of information every day. They may be misled or even harmed by the misinformation they receive if they do not examine the information carefully before taking any actions. This research will help mobile users filter out the misinformation, so they will be able to make better judgements based on the valid information.

COVID-19 Impacts
“A Prediction Model for Economic Impacts from a Pandemic”
Many people get sick and even dying because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only does the COVID-19 cause the serious health problems, but it also has brought significant economic impacts. For example, the unemployment rates of North Dakota are 2.4%, 9.1%, 9.1%, and 6.1% in June 2019, April 2020, May 2020, and June 2020, respectively. It is obvious that the pandemic increases the unemployment rate, but it also shows some anomalies like the rate dropped from 9.1% to 6.1% from May to June though the number of COVID cases increased. This research tries to propose a prediction model for economic impacts from a pandemic, so when the next pandemic hits again, we will be well prepared for the worst.

COVID-19 Prevention
“Using Direction Searches to Stay Away from COVID-19”
This research is related to the author’s actual experience about the COVID-19 pandemic. The author had to drive from Grand Forks, North Dakota to Columbus, Ohio to visit his family. Traveling via airplanes or buses was not considered because the coronavirus may prevail in small, crowded space. However, driving is not without risk since they had to stop from time to time to do the tasks like filling up the gas tank, using restrooms, or buying food. There are numerous routes from Grand Forks to Washington D.C. To reduce the risk, they tried to take a “safe” route and avoid the “hotspots” like Chicago or Minneapolis as much as possible. This research uses the technique of incremental direction searches to find the “best” routes between two locations.

LBS Privacy Preservation
“Privacy-preserving spatial trajectory prediction based on a matrix representation”
Spatial trajectory prediction requires a complicated processing of routes (lists of locations) such as travel route collection, storage, indexing, transmission, and matching. This research makes spatial trajectory prediction simple and effective by using an innovative matrix representation for routes. At the same time, user privacy is fully protected because the matrix representation allows the trajectories to be predicted at the mobile clients instead of the server. By using our method, travel route processing becomes matrix processing, which is well documented and includes a variety of tools and methods. This research is useful and popular and is related to a couple of subjects such as mobile computing and security, location-based services, and human behavior recognition.

Spatial Trajectory Prediction
“Spatial trajectory prediction based on traffic flows”
Inertia has a moving object follow a path or trajectory that resists any change in its motion. Human travel patterns normally have the similar inertia feature. For example, the vehicles on a highway usually stay on the highway or people tend to walk towards a popular destination such as a mall or park. This research proposes a location-based service, spatial trajectory prediction, which is to predict the forthcoming locations of the human travel routes. It could be used in a variety of purposes such as travel recommendations and traffic control and planning. The proposed method is based on the previous traffic flows, a weighted graph. It predicts the spatial trajectory by finding a path with a maximal weight and within a length. A modified algorithm of the longest path is used to find the maximum-weight path. If the length of the path is over the limit specified by the user, the next maximum-weight path is used and the length is checked again. The process is repeated if necessary. Experimental results show the proposed method works, but further tests are needed to validate its effectiveness.

Green Computing
“Location-aware online map caching and prefetching for mobile handheld devices”
Map navigation is one of the most popular applications used by mobile users. To save the transmission time and reduce the delay, online mobile map navigation caches or prefetches maps by using various methods such as most-recently used and first-in, first-out algorithms. However, the mobility and location features of mobile users are usually left out by these methods. Caching and pre-fetching maps based on a mobile user’s locations would greatly reduce the transmission time and hence the battery power consumption. For example, if a user is visiting a town, prefetching the maps of nearby interesting stores and caching the maps of the visited, neighboring landmarks would help the user’s visitation and save the transmission time. The number of smartphone sales is expected to surpass the one of PCs and servers in the near future and it is predicted that more people will use smartphones than PCs or notebooks to browse the Internet in 2013. Despite the bright future of smartphones, they are not without problems, especially the short battery life. This research tries to relieve the problem by using location-aware online map caching and prefetching for saving battery power.

Location-Based Services
“Route anomaly detection using incremental location searching”
Since the introduction of iPhone in 2007, smartphones have become very popular. The high mobility of smartphones has created many applications that are not possible or inconvenient for PCs and servers, even notebooks. One of the mobile applications, location-based services (LBS), has attracted great attention recently. This research proposes location-based research, which uses location information to find route anomalies, a common problem of daily life. For example, an alert should be generated when a school bus misses part of a route. Different kinds of route anomalies are discussed and various methods for detecting the anomalies are proposed in this research. The major methods use a technique of incremental location search, which finds matched routes as the search route is entered location by location. An alert is generated when no matched routes exist. Preliminary experiment results show the proposed methods are effective and easy-to-use.

Handheld/Mobile Security
“Smartphone data protection using handheld usage pattern matching”
Handheld devices like smartphones must include rigorous and convenient handheld data protection in case the devices are lost or stolen. This research proposes a set of novel approaches to protecting handheld data by using usage pattern matching, which compares the current handheld usage pattern to the stored usage patterns. If they are drastic different, a security action such as requiring a password entry is activated. Various algorithms of pattern matching can be used in this research. Two of them are discussed in this research: (i) approximate usage string matching and (ii) usage finite automata. The first method uses approximate string matching to check device usage and the second method converts the usage tree into a deterministic finite automaton (DFA). Experimental results show this method is effective and convenient for handheld data protection, but the accuracy may need to be improved.

Handheld Computing
“Internet-enabled mobile handheld devices for mobile commerce”
The emergence of wireless and mobile networks has made possible the introduction of electronic commerce to a new application and research area: mobile commerce. Internet-enabled mobile handheld devices are one of the core components of a mobile commerce system, making it possible for mobile users to directly interact with mobile commerce applications. Much of a mobile user’s first impression of the application will be formed by his or her interaction with the device, therefore the success of mobile commerce applications is greatly dependent on how easy they are to use. This research first explains the role of handheld devices in mobile commerce systems and then discusses the devices in detail. A mobile handheld device includes six major components: (i) a mobile operating system, (ii) a mobile central processor unit, (iii) a microbrowser, (iv) input/output devices, (v) a memory, and (vi) batteries.

World Wide Web Usage Mining
“World Wide Web usage mining systems and technologies”
Web usage mining is used to discover interesting user navigation patterns and can be applied to many real-world problems, such as improving web sites/pages, making additional topic or product recommendations, user/customer behavior studies, etc. This research studies and analyzes current web usage mining systems and technologies. A web usage mining system performs five major tasks: (i) data gathering, (ii) data preparation, (iii) navigation pattern discovery, (iv) pattern analysis and visualization, and (v) pattern applications. Each task is explained in detail and its related technologies are introduced and a list of major research systems and projects concerning web usage mining is also presented.

World Wide Web Search Engines
“World Wide Web search engines”
The World Wide Web now holds more than 25 billion pages covering almost all daily issues. The Web’s fast growing size and lack of structural style present a new challenge for information retrieval. Traditional search techniques are based on users typing in search keywords which the search services can then use to locate the desired web pages. However, this approach normally retrieves too many documents, of which only a small fraction are relevant to the users’ needs. Furthermore, the most relevant documents do not necessarily appear at the top of the query output list. Numerous search technologies have been applied to web search engines; however, the dominant search methods have yet to be identified. This research studies the existing technologies for web search engines and classifies them into six categories: (i) hyperlink exploration, (ii) information retrieval, (iii) metasearches, (iv) SQL approaches, (v) content-based multimedia searches, and (vi) others.

Image Databases
“An image retrieval system based on a linear skeleton representation”
Efficient storage and flexible retrieval are two principal needs in an image database. Image representation is the crucial factor in fulfilling these representations. This research proposes an image representation, including an image data structure and a spatial knowledge representation, that will facilitate the above two demands. The proposed data structure, called a line string, encodes an image via a string of linear skeleton and retrieves an image through string matching. The proposed spatial representation, called an OOLS, provides a structural and easy way to specify the line string in a database query. The research calculates the number of spatial relations held by a line string through a theorem. It also compares space needs and matching speed of line strings to other string data structures. It shows that a line string exhibits advantages over other structures but may require more storage and retrieval time.

Compiler Construction
“A Lisp/Prolog mixed language programming environment”
The Lisp and Prolog are two languages that are widely used for AI (artificial intelligence) development. However, both languages are not adequate for the AI researchers’ demands. As a result, an implementation which combines Lisp with Prolog would be extremely useful to AI researchers. This research presents a basis for constructing multi-language programming environments which integrate the logic language of Prolog into the procedural language Lisp. First of all, we set up the software facilities of the system; they include a Unix-like editor, a Lisp compiler, a Prolog compiler, a heap storage management system, and a POPLOG virtual machine for which both compilers generate code. Then we combine the Lisp machine with the Prolog machine by transferring the data structure and the sequence control of a compiled mixed language program from one machine to the other. With this mulit-language system, a programmer can then freely use the Lisp or Prolog language to develop any software desired.
