Call for papers

 

Recommender agents and diverse adaptive web-based systems are recently applied to provide customized information for their users in a complex environment of web-based systems. This alternating environment captures not only information needs of differentiated users but also the various system platforms, which are used in many different contexts.  In such circumstances so-called classical information systems tend to be very ineffective and there is a great need for applications of adaptive technologies in general or recommender agents in particular. The aim of the workshop is to bring together, for the second time, researchers working on recommender agents and various web-based adaptive systems as well as to discuss these issues and to present current research results. Topics of submitted papers should focus on recommender agents and various adaptive techniques concerning both theoretical and application aspects in the following areas:

 

·        E-learning in the web environment

·        Expert systems

·        Hyperlink recommendation

·        Information retrieval and filtering

·        Multimedia and mobile systems

·        Multi-agent systems

·        Personalization processes

·        Product recommendation

·        User interfaces in open systems

·        Web browsing
