An efficient approach for web navigation using ant colony optimization

Abstract

Implementing an optimization technique to provide user navigation is a difficult task because users are dynamic in nature. But, this paper satisfies this demand by providing ranking to different parameters like usability aspects (web usage mining) and also to the keywords & description of web pages (web content mining) as well as to the in links and out links (web structure mining) and provides relative information matrix for different web pages. This model is converted to graph form and ant colony optimization is applied over it, by defining a suitable heuristic function and optimum results are obtained within a specified time constraint.
