My portal viewer for content fusion based on user's preferences

A novel Web application called "my portal viewer (MPV)" has been developed to provide Web users with higher quality content, which is needed due to a rapidly growing amount of content on the Web. It provides fused news to the user, based on two viewpoints, through a user friendly interface and the user's preferences. MPV automatically selects and merges content from many news pages, based on the user's interest and knowledge, after gathering these pages from various news Web sites. Our unique approach is that the layout of the MPV page is applied to the users' favorite news portal page and a part of the original content is replaced by the fused content. Whenever a user accesses an MPV page after browsing other news pages, he/she can acquire the desired content efficiently because MPV presents a refreshed page, based on the user's behavior, which reflects his/her interests and knowledge. In addition to the MPV framework, methods that are based on user reference for replacing and selecting have been developed using an HTML table model.
