3D graphics on the web: A survey
Computers & Graphics, 2014Abstract In recent years, 3D graphics has become an increasingly important part of the multimedia web experience. Following on from the advent of the X3D standard and the definition of a declarative approach to presenting 3D graphics on the web, the rise of WebGL has allowed lower level access to graphics hardware of ever increasing power.

Survey of web service composition
2015 5th International Conference on Information & Communication Technology and Accessibility (ICTA), 2015A web service (WS) is called compound or composite when its execution involves interactions with other WS to use their features. The composition of WS specifies which services need to be invoked, in what order and how to handle exception conditions. This paper gives an overview of research efforts of WS composition.

Proceedings of the 15th Symposium on International Database Engineering & Applications - IDEAS '11, 2011
The deep Web, the part of the Web consisting of web pages filled with information from myriads of online databases, is to date relatively unexplored. Even its basic characteristics such as, for instance, the number of searchable databases on the Web are disputable. In this paper, we address the problem of accurate estimation of the deep Web by sampling

Social presence in Web surveys
Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2001Social interface theory has widespread influence in the field of human-computer interaction. The basic thesis is that humanizing cues in a computer interface can engender responses from users similar to human-human interaction. In contrast, the survey interviewing literature suggests that computer administration of surveys on highly sensitive topics ...

WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, 2013
AbstractThe Internet has become an unlimited resource of knowledge, and is thus widely used in many applications. Web mining plays an important role in discovering such knowledge. This mining can be roughly divided into three categories, including Web usage mining, Web content mining, and Web structure mining. Data and knowledge on the Web may, however,

A survey on checkpointing web services
Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Principles of Engineering Service-Oriented and Cloud Systems, 2014With the advent and widespread use of web services, complex business processes are being built by discovering and composing services already available over the Internet. Such composite web services operate over the Internet where reliability and speed cannot be guaranteed, hence providing fault handling mechanism to composite web services is of primary

Web Survey Design and Administration
Public Opinion Quarterly, 2001Many claims are being made about the advantages of conducting surveys on the Web. However, there has been little research on the effects of format or design on the levels of unit and item response or on data quality. In a study conducted at the University of Michigan, a number of experiments were added to a survey of the student population to assess ...
