Adaptation and Personalization for Web 2.0

  HOME       

Objectives

This workshop aims at discussing the state-of-the-art, open problems, challenges and innovative research approaches in adaptation and personalization for Web 2.0; it provides a forum both for proposing innovative and open models, applications and new data sharing scenarios, as well as novel technologies and methodologies for creating and managing these applications.
Examples of stimulating application fields are social bookmarking environments, publication sharing systems, or, more in general, digital libraries.
Three specific questions motivate this workshop:

1. How adaptation and personalization methodologies can augment Web 2.0 environments? And how can social adaptation mechanisms be evaluated?
2. What models, techniques, and tools are the most adequate to better support Web 2.0 users?
3. How much the introduction of tools for structuring personal user spaces (currently flat) can improve the creation and navigation processes and social awareness?
