The personalized web search presented in this paper is based on exploiting the implicit feedbacks of user satisfaction during her web browsing history to construct a user profile storing the web pages the user is highly interested in. A weight is assigned to each page stored in the user’s profile;this weight reflects the user’s interest in this page. We name this weight the relative rank of the page, since it depends on the user issuing the query. Therefore, the ranking algorithm provided in this paper is based on the principle that;the rank assigned to a page is the addition of two rank values R_rank and A_rank. A_rank is an absolute rank, since it is fixed for all users issuing the same query, it only depends on the link structures of the web and on the keywords of the query. Thus, it could be calculated by the PageRank algorithm suggested by Brin and Page in 1998 and used by the google search engine. While, R_rank is the relative rank, it is calculated by the methods given in this paper which depends mainly on recording implicit measures of user satisfaction during her previous browsing history.展开更多

Some disadvantages of this algorithm is presented, for instance, preferring old pages, ignoring special sites and inaccurate judge of hyperlinks pointed out from one page. Furthermore, author’s improved algorithm is described. Experiments show that the author’s consideration on evaluating the importance of pages can make an improvement over the original algorithm. Based on this improved algorithm a topic specific searching system have been developed.展开更多

Many researchers argued that many usability results and recommendations lack empirical and experimental data. In this research, the usability of the web pages is evaluated using several carefully selected statistical models. Universities web pages are chosen as subjects for this work for ease of comparison and ease of collecting data. A series of experiments has been conducted to investigate into the usability and design of the universities web pages. Prototype web pages have been developed according to the structured methodologies of web pages design and usability. Universities web pages were evaluated together with the prototype web pages using a questionnaire which was designed according to the Human Computer Interactions (HCI) heuristics. Nine (users) respondents’ variables and 14 web pages variables (items) were studied. Stringent statistical analysis was adopted to extract the required information to form the data acquired, and augmented interpretation of the statistical results was followed. The results showed that the analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure showed there were significant differences among the universities web pages regarding most of the 23 items studied. Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) showed that the prototype usability performed significantly better regarding most of the items. The correlation analysis showed significant positive and negative correlations between many items. The regression analysis revealed that the most significant factors (items) that contributed to the best model of the universities web pages design and usability were: multimedia in the web pages, the web pages icons (alone) organisation and design, and graphics attractiveness. The results showed some of the limitations of some heuristics used in conventional interface systems design and proposed some additional heuristics in web pages design and usability.展开更多
