Abstract

As the rapid growing number of WWW users, the hidden information becomes ever increasingly valuable. As the consequence of such phenomenon, mining Web data and analysing on-line users' behaviour and their on-line traversal pattern have emerged into a new popular research area. Primarily based on the Web servers' log files, the main objective of traversal pattern mining is to discover the frequent patterns in users' browsing paths and behaviours. This paper presents a complete framework for web mining, allows users to predefine physical constraints when analysing complex traversal patterns in order to improve the efficiency of algorithms and offer flexibility in producing the results.
