Constraints formalize the dependencies in a physical world in terms of a logical relation among several unknowns. Constraint satisfaction methods allow efficient navigation of large search spaces to find an optimal solution that satisfies given constraints. This paper explores the application of constraint satisfaction methods to personalize generic information content with respect to a user-mo...

The large number of data sources on the Internet can be used to augment and verify the accuracy of geospatial sources, such as gazetteers and annotated satellite imagery. Data sources such as satellite imagery, maps, gazetteers and vector data have been traditionally used in geographic information systems (GIS), but nontraditional geospatial data, such as online phone books and property records...

The demand for information technology (IT) or information systems (IS) personnel remains strong, despite the cyclical downturn in the technology industry. The field continues to offer good salaries, challenge, and high levels of job satisfaction. The IS profession needs to attract the best and brightest students to the field to satisfy the needs of business. Secondary school educators are a key...

We present an Information Customization framework, which offers a unique hybrid of Adaptive Hypermedia and Constraint Satisfaction methods. IC is being modelled as a constraint satisfaction problem. Information customization involves the generation of personalized information that (a) comprises multiple topic-specific documents deemed relevant to the user-model; (b) satisfies factual, contextua...
