Abstract

In this paper we present an approach, called MOWS, to select materialized webview in data--intensive websites (DIWS). A webview is a static instance of a dynamic web page. The materialization of webviews consists of storing the results of some requests on the server in order to avoid repetitive data generation from the sources. The aim is to improve the query response time. Our contribution in this work is to apply two steps for the selection of webviews. The first one is executed periodically and it consists of filtering the candidate webviews. It is called macro-selection. The second is executed online and it consists of selecting the materialized webviews. It is called micro-selection. Our experiment results show that our solution is very efficient to improve query response time especially for the websites with high size. For this type of websites, our approach overcomes the existing solutions and it improves their query response times by more than 70%.
