Abstract:

Much work has been done in the areas of distributed and shared interface environments and intelligent and context aware applications. This paper describes our goals in the enhancement of a collaborative travel recommender deployed with a DiamondTouch interface to encompasses these technologies. The enhancements we propose will allow users to interact with installations on remote DiamondTouch devices will grant the application access to an abundance of context data.

Abstract:

Group recommender systems introduce a whole set of new challenges for recommender systems research. The notion of generating a set of recommendations that will satisfy a group of users, with potentially competing interests, is challenging in itself. In addition to this we must consider how to record and combine the preferences of many different users as they engage in simultaneous recommendation dialogs. In this paper we introduce a group recommender system that is designed to provide assistance to a group of friends trying to plan a skiing vacation.
