Context is any information/knowledge about an application and user that can be used by an e-commerce system to provide efficient services to the users of the system. In this article, we propose to extend usage of context as compared to previously designed context-aware e-commerce systems. While in previous work, context was mainly considered for mobile e-commerce systems, we propose to build and use context for e-commerce systems in general. The context is employed to tailor an e-commerce application to the preferences and needs of users and provide insights into purchasing activities of users and particular e-commerce stores by means of using Data Mining techniques. This article proposes a model of context that includes micro-, macro- and domain contexts that constitute knowledge about the application and its user on different levels of granularity. The article also proposes a technique for extracting groups in social networks. This knowledge is part of macro-context in the proposed model of context. Moreover, the article discusses some of the challenges of incorporating context with e-commerce systems, emphasizing on the privacy issue, with an ultimate goal of developing intelligent e-commerce systems.

Social networks have an outstanding marketing value and developing data mining methods for viral marketing is a hot topic in the research community. However, most social networks remain impossible to be fully analyzed and understood due to prohibiting sizes and the incapability of traditional machine learning and data mining approaches to deal with the new dimension in the learning process related to the large-scale environment where the data are produced. On one hand, the birth and evolution of such networks has posed outstanding challenges for the learning and mining community, and on the other has opened the possibility for very powerful business applications. However, little understanding exists regarding these business applications and the potential of social network mining to boost marketing. This paper presents a review of the most important state-of-the-art approaches in the machine learning and data mining community regarding analysis of social networks and their business applications. The authors review the problems related to social networks and describe the recent developments in the area discussing important achievements in the analysis of social networks and outlining future work. The focus of the review in not only on the technical aspects of the learning and mining approaches applied to social networks but also on the business potentials of such methods.

Currently, there is a big increase in the usage of data analytics applications and services because of the growth in the data produced from different sources. The QoS properties such as response time and latency of these services are important factors to decide which services to select. As a result of IT expansion, energy consumption has become a big issue. Therefore, establishing a QoS-based web service recommender system that considers energy consumption as one of the essential QoS properties represents a significant step towards selecting the energy efficient web services. This dissertation presents an experimental study on energy consumption levels and latency behavior collected from a set of data mining web services running on different datasets. Our study shows that there is a strong relation between the dataset properties and the QoS properties. Based on the findings from this study, a recommender system is built which considers three dimensions (user, service, dataset). The energy consumption values of candidate services invoked by specific users can be predicted for a given dataset. Afterwards, these services can be ranked according to their predicted energy values and presented to users. We propose three approaches to build our recommender system and we treat it as a context-aware recommendation problem. The dataset is considered as contextual information and we use a context-aware matrix factorization model to predict energy values. In the first approach, we adopt the pre-filtering model where the contextual information serves as a query for filtering relevant rating data. In the second approach, we propose a new method for the pre-filtering implementation. Finally, in the last approach, we adopt the contextual modeling method and we explore different ways of representing dataset information as contextual factors to investigate their impacts on the recommendation accuracy. We compare the proposed approaches with the baseline approaches and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed ones. Also, we compare the performance of the three approaches to discover the best-fit approach when being measured using different metrics. Both prediction and recommendation accuracy of the proposed approaches are significantly better than the baseline models.

This chapter presents an overview of social network features such as user behavior, social models, and user-generated content to highlight the most notable research trends and application systems built over such appealing models and online media data. It first describes the most popular social networks by analyzing the growth trend, the user behaviors, the evolution of social groups and models, and the most relevant types of data continuously generated and updated by the users. Next, the most recent and valuable applications of data mining techniques to social network models and user-generated content are presented. Discussed works address both social model extractions tailored to semantic knowledge inference and automatic understanding of the user-generated content. Finally, prospects of data mining research on social networks are provided as well.
