The aim of this work is the design and the implementation of a prototype for supporting a user through the navigation in a web-site. We exploit the potentiality of having a representation of an hypermedia based on the concept of an abstract semantic description of the knowledge tree, in order to use some adaptivity processes, typical of many hyperm...

By opening the learner model to both the learner and other peers within an e-learning system, the learner is able to reflect on the contents of the model. Information in the model depends on the context in which it is generated. Current systems translate an existing model to fit the context. The active open user modelling approach presented in this...

The current development of information processing can be viewed from different perspectives: the interface to the end user is characterized by devices that are mobile, and that become technically and ergonomically more efficient. From the perspective of communication, complex content can be distributed with fewer obstacles to bigger target groups....

Personalized recommendation systems have been widely used as an effective way to deal with information overload. The common approach in the systems, item-based collaborative filtering (CF), has been identified to be vulnerable to “Shilling” attack. To improve the robustness of item-based CF, the authors propose a novel CF approach based on the most...

With the increasing proliferation of data production technologies (like cameras) and consumption avenues (like social media) multimedia has become an interaction channel among users today. Images and videos are being used by the users to convey innate preferences and tastes. This has led to the possibility of using multimedia as a source for user-m...

During the last decade, several recommendation systems have been proposed that help people to tackle information overload of digital content by effectively presenting content adapted to user's tastes and needs. However, these personalization technologies are far from perfect and much research is needed to improve the quality of recommendations and,...

This work aimed to propose an adaptive web site in the field of cultural heritage that can dynamically suggest links, based on not intrusive profiling methodologies integrated with topographical information. A fundamental issue, typ-ical in web sites that refer to real sites, is to help the user to orient himself geographically. Our system can support the user in its exploration of physical/virtual space suggest-ing new physical locations structured as a thematic itinerary through the excavations.
