Context-aware recommender systems: A serviceoriented approach
Sofiane Abbar, Mokrane Bouzeghoub, Stéphane Lopez · 2009
Recommender systems are efficient tools that overcome the information overload problem by providing users with the most relevant contents. This is generally done through user’s preferences/ratings acquired from log files of his former ses-sions. Besides these preferences, taking into account the interaction context of the user will improve the relevancy of recommendation process. In this paper, we propose a context-aware recommender system based on both user pro-file and context. The approach we present is based on a previous work on data personalization which leads to the definition of a Personalized Access Model that provides a set of personalization services. We show how these services can be deployed in order to provide advanced context-aware recommender systems. 1.
