Some of the most critical steps in successful transformation pertain not only to data and information acquisition and digitalization but also to adequate publishing and organization of these information resources. Companies share information through their websites, so the structuring of the web content becomes critical during the digital transformation of business. In this paper, the authors present a conceptual model of the managerial tool that is based on semantic analysis of web sites in order to obtain information about the structure of web sites in a particular domain. The resulting ontological model contains information about best practices in web information organization and can be a valuable resource for management when deciding on the organization of their own web content. The system is based on grounded theory and uses current information retrieval methods, natural language processing, semantic networks, and ontologies.

Authors:Aloui; Ahmed, Kazar, Okba Pages: 20 - 39 Abstract: In mobile business (m-business), a client sends its exact locations to service providers. This data may involve sensitive and private personal information. As a result, misuse of location information by the third party location servers creating privacy issues for clients. This paper provides an overview of the privacy protection techniques currently applied by location-based mobile business. The authors first identify different system architectures and different protection goals. Second, this article provides an overview of the basic principles and mechanisms that exist to protect these privacy goals. In a third step, the authors provide existing privacy protection measures.

The web service selection becomes nontrivial, as the users are easily overloaded by vast amount candidates. Using the keyword-based search method, users are struggling to choose the best web services among those having similar features. In the traditional methods, the users set different constraints and QoS parameters of a web service from what's claimed by the provider. Moreover, different researches challenge this problem, introducing semantic discovery process to enable relevant and desired search results. These approaches don't give importance to users' opinions and the selection history. The classical development of the ontology is typically entirely based on high human participation. In this paper, the authors use ontology-based querying, user profile to know the history, new collaborative filtering to calculate user, and query similarity and QoS as the final step for web service selection. The approach combines the syntactic and semantic methods to increase the selection precision.

Authors:Almeida; Fernando, Monteiro, José Augusto Pages: 62 - 73 Abstract: Having an online presence is essential for any company regardless of its size and type of business. Users are currently striving to interact with companies through the web, regardless of their access device. In this sense, responsive web design emerged as a very useful technique that allows the dynamic adaptation of the design regardless of the size and resolution of the access device. Despite the unequivocal advantages associated with this technique, there are also limitations which turn this approach not feasible or advisable for all projects. This study, through the realization of five case studies, seeks to identify the main limitations of responsive design and responsive design frameworks. Additionally, this study suggests further development models that may be more effective in the dynamic adaptation of the design and contents according to the features of the access device, such as the adoption of adaptive design, use of native apps, and hybrid models.

Authors:Vaz; Glauber José, Barbedo, Jayme Garcia Arnal Pages: 74 - 86 Abstract: Information retrieval systems built with a service-oriented architecture have numerous advantages, and portlets are a key technology to implement services which interact with each other in the presentation layer. This work presents an efficient approach for the communication between the components of an information retrieval system based on multiple portlets in a single user interface. It also presents the architecture and the main methods of the system implemented as a case of use for this approach. It is shown that the proposed solution yields the best inter-portlet communication mechanism in each situation, while possessing the ability to deliver aggregated search and superior user experience.
