Abstract

This paper presents a model for a software component that monitors a user's interaction with a computer system and distributes summaries of that interaction to remote repositories. We illustrate the model with a prototype, implemented as a Web browser extension, for recording temporal aspects of Web browsing, such as time spent reading a page or keeping it open. To give the user control over privacy exposure and network resource usage that are inherent in remote monitoring, our design allows the user to specify how detailed the summaries are and who they are sent to.

Browsing Recommendation Based on the Intertemporal Choice Model
FQAS '09: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Flexible Query Answering Systems

Browsing is an important but often inefficient information seeking strategy in information retrieval (IR). In this paper, we argue that an effective recommendation model can improve the user's browsing experience. We propose to adapt the intertemporal ...
Exploring the protection of private browsing in desktop browsers

Desktop browsers have introduced private browsing mode, a security control which aims to protect users' data that are generated during a private browsing session by not storing them in the filesystem. As the Internet becomes ubiquitous, the existence of ...
