Vis4Search - Overview

• General Description
  More and more often it happens in businesses and large organizations to have collections of documents (files, e-mail, etc.) of various kinds and large dimension, stored without any organization or logic and semantic. The search for information of interest in these collections can be complex and extremely expensive in terms of time. A similar problem occurs in Web portals used by companies as the main channel of communication to their customers, in which the retrieval of information from users may not be an easy task. The line of business VIS4Search offers visual search tools with automatic classification results in order to support the user in the retrieval of information of interest.

• ISS: visual search engine in a corporate intranet.
• WPSS: visual search engine for Web portals.
• General Features >>
  
  Each line VIS4Search system operates on the following approach. The identification of documents of interest in the collection is done using standard search by keyword (query). The results in response to the query are automatically recorded by the system in thematic categories and subcategories (clustering). The system then computes, again automatically, a graphical map of the themes and the user can interact with this map to navigate, streamline or enrich the information displayed, open documents in various categories, customize the graphics settings. The interaction with the system interface is via Web by the use of a normal Web browser. In order to extract the results in response to a query, the system queries a traditional tool for indexing and searching documents (indexer). The line VIS4Search systems offer the following basic features:
  
  

  • Automatic calculation features
    - Automatic calculation of the themes (clustering)
    - Automatic graphical maps (graph visualization)
  • File Management features (for ISS)
    - Saving maps to query
    - Loading maps previously saved
  • Interaction Features
    - Navigation categories
    - Filtering of information

Vis4Biz - Overview

• General description
  Several software systems are available to date to support companies in their critical decisions. Often these systems are equipped with business intelligence modules for data analysis e statistic report generation that use classical charts like bars, pies, lines, ect. Many types of data however have a more complex nature due to their inter-relationships. An effective analysis of such data needs visual tools that are more sophisticated than classical charts. They need interfaces that use advanced techniques for the automatic layout of data networks from one side, and that offer interaction functionalities with the generated diagram from the other side, in order to simplify or enhance it, or in order to focus on specific portion of data.

Vis4Biz - Products

• General Features >>
  
  The Vis4Biz line currently offers an innovative system, called COWA (COnceptual Web-log Analyzer), for the visual analysis of user accesses to a web site. Web server is a software that handles the web pages of a site and provides these pages to users that want to access them. A web server maintains a so called log file, in which it stores data about each single access to a web page. The analysis of a web server log file makes it possible to collect valuable information about the distribution of user accesses to the pages of the site. To date many commercial and open source systems are available for the analysis of web server log files; these systems are able to generate statistics and charts about user accesses to the single web pages. However, very often web site administrators or managers of companies that own a web site have major interest in understanding how users accesses are distributed with respect to the different themes or to the different strategic areas published in the web site, more than with respect to the single pages. For instance, one can think of a big company that offers a wide range of products and that wants to get useful marketing information looking at the interests of its customers to the different products descriptions in its web site.
• COWA: General Features >>
  
  COWA can analyze web server log files and extract from them the level of interest of users for a desired set of topics. The system allows the web site administrator to specify a set of topics to analyze, by inserting a profile for each topic (that is, a collection of key-words that characterize the topic). Then the system analyzes the log file, computes the interests of the users to the single pages, and establishes the relevance of each accessed page to each single topic. Combining all these information, the system is able to compute the interests of the users for each topic and shows to the administrator the evolution of such an interest over time and geographically. To this aim, the system offers a wide range of visual interactive representations, in which the administrator can morph the layout in a desired time window. In this respect, COWA can be defined as an innovative and powerful tool for business intelligence, able to support companies in their marketing decisions or in re-engineering their web sites.
