This paper presents an intelligent E-commerce recommendation algorithm with collaborative filtering algorithm. Firstly, a novel user interest model is given, which is an important module in the E-commerce recommendation system. Particularly, to effectively integrate the user interest model with collaborative filtering algorithm, we assume that if two users have similar interest vector, they may want...
With more and more news sources publishing news articles online, news recommendation systems are becoming increasingly popular in recent days. However, if a news recommender shows to the user many news articles that cover same story or talk about same persons or events, then the recommendations might become monotonous for the user. A possible way to handle this scenario is to diversify the recommended...
Empirical analysis of software repositories usually deals with linear histories derived from centralized versioning systems. Decentralized version control systems allow a much richer structure of commit histories, which presents features that are typical of complex graph models. In this paper we bring some evidences of how the very structure of these commit histories carries relevant information about...
Determining contributors' expertise, role, and individual importance are fundamental for assessing their impact on a software project. Currently-used expertise metrics are agnostic to contributor roles and can lead to incorrect characterizations. To address these issues, we operationalize contributor expertise and role. First, we revisit current expertise metrics and show that their use bundles many...
Software development is a largely collaborative effort, of which the actual encoding of program logic in source code is a relatively small part. Software developers have to collaborate effectively and communicate with their peers in order to avoid coordination problems. To date, little is known how developer communication during software development activities impacts the quality and evolution of...
Structures of real-world networks show varying degrees of importance of the nodes in their surroundings. The topic of evaluating the importance of the nodes offers many different approaches. We present simple and straightforward approach for the evaluation of the nodes in undirected unweighted networks. The approach is based on x-representativeness measure which is originally intended for weighted...
Semantic Web services (SWs) and P2P computing have emerged as new paradigms for solving complex problems by enabling large-scale aggregation and sharing of distributed computational resources. In this paper, we present a scalable approach based on epidemic discovery algorithm to discover new distributed and heterogeneous collaborative applications of large-scale distributed systems in a P2P network,...
Recommendation can be reduced to a sub-problem of link prediction, with specific nodes (users and items) and links (similar relations among users/items, and interactions between users and items). However, the previous link prediction algorithms need to be modified to suit the recommendation cases since they do not consider the separation of these two fundamental relations: similar or dissimilar and...
In this paper we examine an advanced collaborative filtering method that uses similarity transitivity concepts. By propagating "similarity" between users, in a similar way as with "trust", we can significantly expand the space of potential recommenders and system's coverage, improving also the recommendations' accuracy. While "trust" information might be missing or be...
Within the Future Internet, a new trend is foreseen with the creation of overlay networks composed of residential gateways (i.e. Home-Box), leveraging their storage and upload capacity in order to achieve scalable and cost-efficient content distribution. In this paper, we highlight an architecture of such a home-box overlay for Video On Demand (VOD) services, in cooperation with a network-aware request...
Cross-domain Scientific Collaborations have promoted rapid development of science and generated many innovative breakthroughs. However, predicting cross-domain scientific collaboration problem is rarely studied and collaboration recommendation methods within single domain cannot be directly utilized for solving cross-domain problems. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid Graph Model, which combines both...
In QoS-based Web service recommendation, predicting QoS(Quality of Service) for service users will greatly aid service selection and discovery. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of Collaborative filtering algorithms, various factors are taken into account (e.g., location factor, environment, etc.). But seldom do investigators take the factor of time into account. Actually, QoS performance...
Recommender Systems (RSs) cope with the problem of information overload, by providing to users content that fit with what they prefer. Generally, RSs work much better for those users on which they have more information about. Satisfying the new users becomes a challenge, as ensuring for them recommendations of quality is vital for the growth of the RS. Coping with this issue can be made by ensuring...
Content Distribution Networks (CDN) are a well-known and accepted way to deliver content. Considering the ever growing number of users and also the growing number of small localized CDNs, there is a strong trend for collaboration among them. CDN collaboration may cause cost reduction for CDN providers and better quality of experience for the end user. However, CDN collaboration raises performance...
In this position paper we discuss the necessity of using User-Centered Design (UCD) methods in order to design collaborative software for the intelligence community. We discuss a number of studies of collaboration in the intelligence community and use this information to provide some guidelines for collaboration software.
Recommender system plays a significant role in reducing the information overload on the sites where users have searched and contented. Existing approaches which deals with such recommendation system apply collaborative filtering techniques to specify the most alike users whom they hope to make recommendations. Collaborative Filtering will significantly show better improvement with the enclosure of...
Software architecture design is known to be driven by the quality attributes we may want to satisfy. Among them, modifiability plays an important role since software maintenance takes the lion's share in the software development costs. However, to successfully maintain a legacy system, the latter must be sufficiently understood so that the maintenance team will not introduce new bugs when correcting...
Health information systems (HISs) offer great potential for supporting healthcare delivey, particularly collaborative care delivery that is provided across multiple settings and providers. To date many HISs have focused on digitzing data or processes on a departmental or healthcare provider basis. This approach has resulted in unintended consequences due to different types of interoperability issues...
