An Evolutionary Approach to Web Request Prediction

This paper proposes an evolutionary algorithm that evolves a population of finite state automata to exploit user navigational path behavior to predict, in real-time, future requests. Predicting user next requests is useful not only for document caching/prefetching, it is also suitable for quick dynamic adaptation to user behavior.
