ABSTRACT
The cyber-physical systems (CPS) are envisioned as a class of real-time systems integrating the computing, communication and storage facilities with monitoring and control of the physical world. One interesting CPS application in the mobile Internet is to provide Web search "on the spot" regarding the physical world that a user sees, or literally WYRIWYS (What-You-Retrieve-Is-What-You-See). The objective of our work is to develop server/browser software for supporting WYRIWYS search in our prototype cyber-physical search engine. A WYRIWYS search retrieves visible Web objects and ranks them by their cyber-physical relevances (term, visual, spatial, temporal etc.). This work is distinguished from previous LWS as it provides quality Web search geared with the physical world. Therefore it suggests a very promising solution to cyber-physical Web search.

Improving Ranking Consistency for Web Search by Leveraging a Knowledge Base and Search Logs
CIKM '15: Proceedings of the 24th ACM International on Conference on Information and Knowledge ManagementIn this paper, we propose a new idea called ranking consistency in web search. Relevance ranking is one of the biggest problems in creating an effective web search system. Given some queries with similar search intents, conventional approaches typically ...
Identifying popular search goals behind search queries to improve web search ranking
AIRS'11: Proceedings of the 7th Asia conference on Information Retrieval TechnologyWeb users usually have a certain search goal before they submit a search query. However, many laypersons can't transform their search goals into suitable queries. Thus, understanding original search goals behind a query is very important for search ...
Evaluation of phrasal query suggestions
CIKM '07: Proceedings of the sixteenth ACM conference on Conference on information and knowledge managementThis paper evaluates the uptake and efficacy of a unified approach to phrasal query suggestions in the context of a high-precision search engine. The search engine performs ranked extended-Boolean searches with the proximity operator <scp>NEAR</scp> ...
