Abstract

As web and mobile applications become more sensitive to the user context, there is a shift from purely off-line processing of user actions (log analysis) to real-time user analytics that can generate information about the user context to be instantly leveraged by the application. Ubeone is a system that enables both real-time and aggregate analytics from user data. The system is designed as a set of lightweight, composeable mechanisms that can progressively and collectively analyze a user action, such as pinning, saving or printing a web page. We will demonstrate the system capabilities on analyzing a live feed of URLs printed through a proprietary, web browser plug-in. This is in fact the first analysis of web printing activity. We will also give a taste of how the system can enable instant recommendations based on the user context.
