Abstract:
Recommender systems support advanced services in many domains. In this paper, we study personalized recommendation services for historical e-Tourism. The considered recommendation-making is based on a corpus of historical data distributed over multiple sources and requires taking into account various semantic relations between historical objects. We adopt a multi-agent architecture to develop services using the smart spaces approach. In contrast to the existing web-based solutions and mobile standalone applications, we propose to provide a tourist with a smart space. It integrates and self-generates historical and other relevant information. Based on this information, personalized recommendations with quantitative and qualitative estimates are constructed and then visualized to assist the tourist in history-aware analysis of points of interests.
