Context personalization refers to the idea of adapting learning activities based on students’ individual interests and experiences. While new learning technologies make such innovations feasible, little research supports whether and how context personalization may mediate important learner outcomes, especially in mathematics.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are widely used in different domains of applications, such as maritime navigation, museums visits and route planning, as well as ecological, demographical and economical applications. Nowadays, organizations need sophisticated and adapted GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) to get quick access to relevant information and to analyze data with respect to g...

In this doctoral thesis a personalization management approach is presented. The thesis applies different personalization attributes on available pervasive applications and services within service domains. These attributes are the building blocks in the personalized provisioning of services and applications on the pervasive networks. The attributes are put on a layered model for management purpo...

The Dynamic Information Presentation (DIP) Toolkit provides a range of different personalization techniques that can be assembled in a flexible but straightforward way to create on-line personalized services. This is aimed at producing Webbased presentations. The Youngster Mobile Service Platform (MSP) was developed to combine personalization with context -awareness and provides a range of pers...

Today, personalization in digital libraries and other information systems occurs separately within each system that one interacts with. However, there are several potential improvements w.r.t. such isolated approaches. Investments of users in personalizing a system either through explicit provision of information or through long and regular use are not transferable to other systems. Moreover, u...

Customers and firms must understand and appreciate one another’s personalization, privacy and security (PPS) vested interests. Customers and enterprises should establish and maintain sufficiently well implemented policies, mechanisms and behaviors to minimize unintended consequences of security breaches that breakdown relationships. An integrated model of personalization, privacy and security f...
