Personalized Search Engine for Efficient Service Discovery

Abstract

Web service discovery plays an integral part of today’s internet and finding the relevant and expected results is a time consuming process. Users fed up with the search results when they get enormous results. Also there is chance of divergence of user behavior due to the search results which may end up in great social distraction. To address these issues, the search engines may be personalized by getting one time user information by registering their focus areas, fields of interest, age, locality and other personal information and may be used for getting relevant results during subsequent usages. This paper aims in providing a user interface for search engines to facilitate users with more personalization and accurate search results. They need to spend time only once to register them and the same can be edited or updated as the user behavior changes. This may be optional and may be used if personalization and customization is needed. Otherwise they can end up with regular results. The system has been tested with nominal number of web services and the results of response time and relevancy are promising.
