Abstract
In this paper we describe a platform that enables Web site automation and monitoring. The platform automatically gathers high quality site activity data, both from the server and client sides. Web adapters, such as rec-ommender systems, can be easily plugged into the platform, and take advantage of the up-to-date activity data. The platform also includes a module to support the editor of the site to monitor and assess the effects of automation. We illustrate the features of the platform on a case study, where we show how it can be used to gather information not only to model the behavior of users but also the impact of the personalization mechanism.

Abstract
With so much information available on the web, looking for relevant documents on the Internet has become a difficult task. Temporal features play an important role with the introduction of a time dimension and the possibility to restrict a search by time, recreating a particular moment of a web page set. Despite its importance, temporal information is still under-considered by current search engines, limiting themselves to the capture of the most recent snapshot of the information. In this paper, we describe the architecture of a temporal search engine which uses timelines to browse search results. More specifically, we intend to add a time measure to cluster web page results, by analyzing web page contents, supporting the search of temporal and non-temporal information embedded in web documents.

Abstract
A methodology for the synthesis of function free definite logic programs from incomplete specifications, background knowledge and programming knowledge is presented. The methodology is implemented as a system SKILit and sub-systems SKIL and MONIC. The specification consists of positive and negative examples of the predicate to synthesize, together with its input/output mode declaration.
