Preface
Welcome to the fifth volume of Springer’s Transactions on Computational
Collective Intelligence (TCCI).Itis the thirdissuein2011ofthis journalwhich
isdevotedtoresearchincomputer-basedmethodsofcomputationalcollectivein-
telligence(CCI)andtheirapplicationsinawiderangeoffieldssuchasgroupde-
cision making, knowledge integration,consensus computing, the Semantic Web,
social networks and multi-agent systems. TCCI strives to cover new computa-
tional,methodological,theoreticalandpracticalaspectsofcollectiveintelligence
understood as the form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and
competition of many individuals (artificial and/or natural).
This volume of TCCI includes ten interesting and original papers. The first
of them, entitled“ImprovedN-grams Approach for Web Page Language Identi-
fication”by Ali Selamat, presents an improvedN-grams approachfor Web page
language identification,which is based on a combinationof an originalN-grams
approach and a modified N-grams approach that has been used for language
identificationofWebdocuments.Inthesecondpaperwiththetitle“Image-Edge

paper,“An Iterative Process for Component-Based Software Development Cen-
tered on Agents”by Yves Wautelet, Sodany Kiv, and Manuel Kolp, includes a

proposed ensemble classifiers. The next paper, “A Situation-Aware Computa-
tional Trust Model for Selecting Partners”by JoanaUrbano, Ana Paula Rocha,
and Eugenio Oliveira,contains the description of a model for selecting partners

The sixth paper entitled “Using the Perseus System for Modelling Epistemic
Interactions”by Magdalena Kacprzak et al., includes a model for agent knowl-
edge acquisition, using a logical puzzle in which agents increase their knowl-
edge about the hats they wear and the software tool named Perseus. In the

Integration Techniques for User Profile Adaptation Methods in Document Re-
trieval Systems”by Bernadetta Mianowska and Ngoc Thanh Nguyen, a model
for integrating the archival knowledge included in a user profile with the new
knowledgedeliveredtoaninformationretrievalsystem,detectingandprovingits
properties, is presented. The ninth paper entitled“Modeling Agents and Agent
Systems,”by Theodor Lettmann et al., contains a universaland formal descrip-
tion for agent systems that can be used as a core model with other existing
models as special cases.The authors show that owing to this core model a clear
specification of agent systems and their properties can be achieved. The last
paper,“Online News Event Extraction for Global Crisis Surveillance”by Jakub
Piskorskiet al.,presentsa real-timeandmultilingualnews eventextractionsys-
tem developed at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. The
authors show that with this system it is possible to accurately and efficiently
extract violent and natural disaster events from online news.

(ICCCI). The first ICCCI event was held in Wroclaw,Poland,in October 2009.
ICCCI2010washeldinKaohsiung,Taiwan,inNovember2010andICCCI2011
took place in Gdynia, Poland, in September 2011. For ICCCI 2011 around 300
papers from 25 countries were submitted and only 105 papers were selected for
inclusion in the proceedings published by Springer in LNCS/LNAI series. We
will invite authors of the ICCCI papers to extend them and submit them for
publication in TCCI.
We are very pleased that TCCI and the ICCCI conferences are strongly ce-
mented as high-quality platforms for presenting and exchanging the most im-

We wouldlike to thank all the authorsfor their contributionsto TCCI. This

Abstract. Language identification has been widely used for machine
translations and information retrieval. In this paper, an improved N-
grams(ING)approachisproposed forwebpagelanguage identification.
The improved N-grams approach is based on a combination of original
N-grams (ONG) approach and a modified N-grams (MNG) approach
that has been used for language identification of web documents. The
features selected from the improved N-grams approach are based on N-
grams frequency and N-grams position. The features selected from the
original N-grams approach are based on a distance measurement and
the features selected from the modified N-grams approach are based
on a Boolean matching rate for language identification of Roman and
Arabic scripts web pages. A large real-world document collection from
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) website, which is composed of
1000 documents on each of the languages (e.g., Azeri, English, Indone-
sian, Serbian, Somali, Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Arabic, Persian,
Urdu, Pashto) have been used for evaluations. The precision, recall and
F1 measures have been used to determine the effectiveness of the pro-
posed improved N-grams (ING) approach. From the experiments, we
have found that the improved N-grams approach has been able to im-
prove the language identification of the contents in Roman and Arabic
scripts web page documents from theavailable datasets.
Keywords: Monolingual, multilingual, web page language identifica-
tion, N-grams approach.
