Personalization of E-learning is considered as a solution for exploiting the richness of individual differences and the different capabilities for knowledge communication. In particular, to apply a predefined personalization strategy for personalizing a course, some learners’ characteristics have to be considered. Furthermore, different ways for the course representation have to be considered t...

In this position paper we analyze the problem of Web applications personalization from a design point of view. We focus on which design constructs are necessary to achieve modular and evolvable personalized Web Applications. We claim that personalization involves different concerns (e.g. rules, profiles, etc.) that should be clearly identified and decoupled; we show how to add personalized beha...

rences are no longer attached to the preferences of a certain political party. Individuals decide who they will vote for by assessing politicians’ appearance, personal characteristics and nonverbal behaviour instead of arguments and policy-issue standings. Moreover, this personalization is not exclusively related to voters but also dominates the behaviour of politicians and the media. In order ...

The authors focus on the process of personalization, a learning process in which users adapt e-mail to their own specific individual needs. This process is used to explain two negative e-mail effects, information overload and miscommunication, and identify differ...

Research has shown that personalization of persuasive games along certain dimensions (e.g. gender, player types) can increase the persuasive effect. However, when designing a personalized game the question arises, which player characteristics should be used as personalization factors? Considering too many factors quickly results in extensive or even unmanageable design efforts, whereas focusing...

Ubiquitous commerce (u-commerce) represents " anytime, anywhere " commerce. U-commerce can provide a high level of personalization, which can bring significant benefits to customers. However, privacy is a major concern to customers and an obstacle to the adoption of u-commerce. This research examines how personalization and context can impact customers' privacy concerns as well as intention to ...

In this paper we have highlighted five existing approaches for introducing personalization in OLAP: preference constructors, dynamic personalization, visual OLAP, recommendations with user session analysis and recommendations with user profile analysis and have analyzed research papers within these directions. We have pointed out applicability of personalization to OLAP schema elements in these...

Personalization aims to tailor content to a person’s individual tastes. As a result, the tasks that benefit from personalization are inherently subjective. Many of the most robust approaches to personalization rely on large sets of other people’s preferences. However, existing preference data is not always available. In these cases, we propose leveraging online crowds to provide on-demand perso...
