Exploiting Space and Time for User Modelling and Personalisation on the Web

Supervisor: Dr A.I. Abdelmoty

Keywords: Online personalisation, Linked and Social Data Web, Spatial and Geographic Data modeling and management

Mobile and pervasive computing technologies have become an integral part of everyday life. The rapidly growing availability and trends of personal data collection on mobile devices raises the need for user modeling and personalization in different contexts including personalization on the web. The project will study the processes of collection and inference of relevant user knowledge from location-aware sensors (e.g. GPS devices), then will address the questions of aggregating, integrating such information into user models and the provision of access to this information in a personalized manner.

Key Skills/Background: Open to Computing Graduates and postgraduates.
