ALVIS is a tool supporting a novel approach presenting Web Augmentation as a bridge for joining Web Scrapping by end users with the benefits of visualizing already existing raw data in a high level of abstraction to easily solve specific tasks on the Web, on-demand and without changing his context of use. It is not just about expanding the limits of technology but enhancing the user experience in any Web page --even third-party-- by the addition of a new feature. We are on the way to verify if the use of on-site visualizations on demand and in any place improves the productivity, usability and engagement of the user in general terms or when dealing with domain-specific tasks.
The realization of this project was made possible in the context of collaboration of two research laboratories:
Laboratorio de Investigación y Formación en Informática Avanzada (LIFIA), Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina.
Laboratoire d'Informatique, Signaux et Systèmes de Sophia Antipolis (I3S), Université Nice Sophia Antipolis, France.
The aim of this site is presenting extra information about the ALVIS project.
