Personalized Information Environments

Proceedings of the Workshop on Environments for Personalized Information

A critical issue concerning communication between remote persons by means of videoconferencing is the ability of the system to provide a high degree of social presence. In this paper we describe the results of a comparative evaluation of two videoconferencing systems. One was a traditional one with a camera mounted above the display. Main disadvantage of such systems is that they do not convey ...

Personalized Learning in Hypermedia Environments

Personalized Information Retrieval Framework

In this paper, we propose a framework of personalized information retrieval system for a wearer (a person who is equipped with a wearable computer) in ubiquitous computing environments. In ubiquitous computing environments, personalized information retrieval is indispensable for a wearer because desired or undesired information will be flooded around the wearer. Although there have been many re...

Personalized Information Structuresy

When moving linear documentation into a hypertext system, it is important to distinguish between referential and structural links; both are needed to model the literary paradigm. In particular, structural links facilitate navigation, tailoring, and information retrieval by imposing structure on large documents. Without them, users face the well-known \lost in hyperspace" syndrome due to disorie...

Personalized Information Retrieval Approach

Web information system personalization is an emergent research field with the objective to facilitate the use and the control of Web content. This paper presents a personalized information retrieval approach based on end user modelling. The proposed approach personalizes data retrieval using implicit user information and interests measurements. As the data manipulated is expressed by attributes...
