Abstract | Content integration of web data sources is becoming increasingly
important for the next generation information
systems. However, all proposed solutions are faced with
the same performance bottleneck: the network overhead
incurred when contacting the integrated e-sites. With this
demo paper we shall demonstrate the functionality of HyperHotel.
HyperHotel is used for finding appropriate hotel
rooms when travelling. Its novetlies are that it is designed
and implemented as an internet web-hotel content integration
application and that it is built on top of D.I.C.E. and
Co.In.S.; a novel content integration infrastructure consisting
of a domain-independent COntent INtegration System
and its Data Integration Cache Engine. We˘ll show how the
infrastructure of D.I.C.E. and Co.In.S. can be applied and
exploited in HyperHotel in order to improve the response
time of complex user queries. This exemplifies the significance
of this infrastructure since HyperHotel is representative
of a large class of e-commerce, content integration
applications. |
