Abstract

Web pages at present have become dynamic and frequently changing, compared to the past where web pages contained static content which did not change often. People have the need to keep track of web pages which are of interest to them, using bookmarks in the web browser and continuously keep track of them in order to get the updates. Tracking changes which occur in these bookmarked web pages and getting updates has become a significant challenge in the current context. Hence there is a need for better and convenient methods to keep track of web pages. Many researches and implementations have been carried out in order to increase the efficiency of change detection of web pages and related algorithms. In this paper, we discuss the architectural aspects of change detection systems and introduce an optimized change detection solution including a web service, browser plugin and an email notification service. Consequently, this research will pave the way for a novel research area to explore.
