Abstract:
As the amount of information increases and access to this information gets easier, the need for personalized systems is inevitable. A personalized system gives users the efficiency to meet their specific preferences by increasing usability and decreasing the unwanted content. The core component of creating a qualified personalized system is defining semantically rich user profiles. We propose to integrate user profiles with policy management concept to provide a rule-based personalization. The main contributions of this work are: developing a profiling methodology to define semantically rich user profiles and generating a profile-based policy management in order to satisfy the demands of a personalized system. We demonstrated our empirical approach for the health care domain to build a personalized lifestyle model. This user-adaptive system will also give the user a significant time reduction when searching specific items for a special user profile type by restricting the options based on the same profile when compared to a non-adaptive system.
