Web Searching and Mining

This book presents the basics of search engines and their components. It introduces, for the first time, the concept of Cellular Automata in Web technology and discusses the prerequisites of Cellular Automata. In today’s world, searching data from the World Wide Web is a common phenomenon for virtually everyone. It is also a fact that searching the tremendous amount of data from the Internet is a mammoth task – and handling the data after retrieval is even more challenging. In this context, it is important to understand the need for space efficiency in data storage. Though Cellular Automata has been utilized earlier in many fields, in this book the authors experiment with employing its strong mathematical model to address some critical issues in the field of Web Mining.
