Abstract

The speed of fetching web pages to users is getting lower because the rapid expansion of Internet use, the inherited character of delay in the network and the Request/Response working mode of WWW, and this is becoming a serious concern for web surfers. In order to speed up fetching web pages, this paper presents an intelligent technique of web pre-fetching. We use a simplified WWW data model to represent the data in the cache of web browser to mine the association rules. We store these rules in a knowledge base so as to predict the user’s actions. Intelligent agents are responsible for mining the users’ interest and pre-fetching web pages, based on the interest association repository. In this way, browsing time has been reduced transparently.
