Web Informatics Programming

Web Informatics Programming (ICT341)

Synopsis

ICT341 Web Informatics Programming introduces students to the challenges and importance of Web content analysis for business and operational intelligence. Both tasks require the development of a pipeline that collects, indexes, searches, analyzes and visualizes data based on web content and logs. Challenges and issues facing web content structure, collection and processing will be explained. Students will be introduced to the tools, and exercise them, to resolve the challenges and issues. Based on these, students will apply what they learnt in Web and data programming through an integrated system that supports systematic interaction with data for various decision-making tasks. Students will also be presented with cases in different domains to exercise the understanding and skills in Web informatics programming.
