Fastnews: Selective Clipping of Web Information

This work presents a software system for selective clipping of web information. The system allows users to register queries, expressing their information needs, and monitors information sources (Web sites), in order to find new information and to push it to the users. The difference from traditional Web clipping systems is that FastNews only retrieves information relevant to the user’s need, that is, it has an intelligent engine that extracts only information parts according to the interest of the user. Currently, the system allows watching news, currency conversion and weather forecasting. An additional functionality is to allow users to enter an URL (Web site) to monitor, against the traditional use of predefined sources.
