Method to Reduce Complexity and Response Time in a Web Search

Abstract

Living in times of technological changes that alter our daily activities, involving tasks such as reading the newspaper, following the weather, scheduling a trip, are usually executed after perusal of the gigantic repository of information, commonly known as the World Wide Web. However some problems are still associated with the information found in such a vast amount of information: heterogeneity, availability, distribution, quality and quantity of irrelevant information. Recent work has suggested different ways of grouping similar information sources, trying to give solutions to these problems. However, some domains are more complex than others. For example, a person looking for tourist information, is generally overwhelmed by visiting various websites. This paper proposes the implementation of a method to retrieve and group web information sources, depending on the services they offer; thereby allowing the user to get accurate answers; thus reducing the time and complexity in the search.
