An Intelligent System for Smart Tourism Simulation in a Dynamic Environment

In this paper, we present a smart tourism system that plans a tourist agenda and keeps track of the plan execution. A Recommendation System returns the list of places that best fit the individual tastes of the tourist and a planner creates a personalized agenda or plan with indication of times and durations of visits. The key component of the system is the simulator in charge of the plan monitoring and execution. The simulator periodically updates its internal state with information from open data platforms and maintains a snapshot of the real-world scenario through live events that communicate sensible environmental changes. The simulator builds a new planning problem when an unexpected change affects the plan execution and the planner arranges the tourist agenda by calculating a new plan.
