Abstract

Online applications rely heavily on database management systems (DBMS), as an essential component of knowledge discovery. DBMS searching and querying has been extensively studied resulting in significant reduction of response time for access and consequently improving the online dialogue process between servers and clients. In this paper, a decision-making algorithm (SEQUESTER) has been developed in order to further improve the performance of interaction-based online applications. The proposed approach uses information theoretic measures in order to build efficient decision trees which form the basis to optimize interactions in a range of real life online applications. The decision-making model employs a question-and-answer (Q&A) approach to guide users in an interactive process to explore for information such as products in a database. The salient feature of this approach is the significant reduction of the number of interactions (accesses) of a customer to a remote application.
