Istilah "flash crowd" menggambarkan situasi di mana sebilangan besar pengguna mengakses perkhidmatan Web secara serentak. Orang ramai, khususnya, merupakan masalah kritikal dalam aplikasi e-dagang kerana potensi kerosakan ekonomi yang besar serta kesukaran dalam pengurusan. Orang ramai kilat boleh menjadi lebih serius bergantung pada tingkah laku pengguna. Apabila orang ramai kilat berlaku, kelewatan dalam respons pelayan boleh menyebabkan pengguna menghantar semula permintaan mereka, sekali gus menambah beban pelayan. Dalam kertas kerja ini, kami mencadangkan untuk menggunakan faktor psikologi pengguna untuk mitigasi orang ramai. Kami berhasrat untuk menganalisis perubahan dalam tingkah laku pengguna dengan membentangkan maklumat maklum balas. Untuk menilai kaedah yang dicadangkan, kami melakukan eksperimen subjek dan ujian tekanan. Eksperimen subjek menunjukkan bahawa, dengan memberikan maklumat maklum balas, purata bilangan penghantaran semula permintaan menurun daripada 1.33 kepada 0.09, dan subjek yang meninggalkan perkhidmatan menurun daripada 81% kepada 0%. Ini mengesahkan bahawa maklumat maklum balas berkesan dalam mempengaruhi tingkah laku pengguna dari segi pengabaian dan penghantaran semula permintaan. Ujian tekanan menunjukkan bahawa purata bilangan penghantaran semula menurun sebanyak 41%, dan bahagian pengabaian menurun sebanyak 30%. Keputusan ini mendedahkan bahawa penyampaian maklumat maklum balas boleh mengurangkan kerosakan yang disebabkan oleh orang ramai di tapak web sebenar, walaupun kesannya terhad. Kaedah yang dicadangkan boleh digunakan bersama dengan kaedah konvensional untuk mengendalikan orang ramai kilat.

Abstract: The term “flash crowd” describes a situation in which a large number of users access a Web service simultaneously. Flash crowds, in particular, constitute a critical problem in e-commerce applications because of the potential for enormous economic damage as well as difficulty in management. Flash crowds can become more serious depending on users' behavior. When a flash crowd occurs, the delay in server response may cause users to retransmit their requests, thereby adding to the server load. In the present paper, we propose to use the psychological factors of the users for flash crowd mitigation. We aim to analyze changes in the user behavior by presenting feedback information. To evaluate the proposed method, we performed subject experiments and stress tests. Subject experiments showed that, by providing feedback information, the average number of request retransmissions decreased from 1.33 to 0.09, and the subjects that abandoned the service decreased from 81% to 0%. This confirmed that feedback information is effective in influencing user behavior in terms of abandonment and retransmission of requests. Stress tests showed that the average number of retransmissions decreased by 41%, and the proportion of abandonments decreased by 30%. These results revealed that the presentation of feedback information could mitigate the damage caused by flash crowds in real websites, although the effect is limited. The proposed method can be used in conjunction with conventional methods to handle flash crowds.

AB - The term “flash crowd” describes a situation in which a large number of users access a Web service simultaneously. Flash crowds, in particular, constitute a critical problem in e-commerce applications because of the potential for enormous economic damage as well as difficulty in management.
