Using Sensors in the Web Crawling Process

Title: Using Sensors in the Web Crawling Process

Research Question: Can incorporating sensors into web servers improve the efficiency of information field monitoring on the internet?

Methodology: The researchers proposed a system where a module, or sensor, is installed on the side of a web server. This sensor detects changes in information resources and signals the need for reindexing to a corresponding robot. They conducted simulations to analyze the peculiarities of this system's functioning.

Results: The simulations showed that using sensors in the web crawling process could potentially optimize the calling rate and reduce inefficient financial costs for both sides involved in the monitoring process.

Implications: The "sensors" concept could lead to more efficient monitoring of the information field on the internet, benefiting both information resource owners and search engine owners. However, further research and development are needed to fully implement and test this concept.
