Location-based Services Personalization Using Genetic Algorithms and Intelligent Agents
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This article analyzes possible solutions for improving Location-based Services (LBS) by using genetic algorithms and intelligent agents. The proposed solution enables identifying the points of interest based on the user profile and on the current context, and also generating routes in multi-modal and multi-operator public transport networks. The route generator process is based on a genetic algorithm that offers users the possibility to have a flexible restriction set for quantifying the importance degree of each associated optimization criterion. Therefore, we add an additional level of personalization over the exclusive use of fixed constraints set in the route identification process. The points of interest are represented by using intelligent agents and the communication between them is realized with the help of predefined ontologies.

Ignoring Irrelevant Information on Displays
This paper presents empirical and modeling work aiming to contribute toward a coherent theory of how humans select relevant information and discharge irrelevant information presented on displays. Two empirical studies ar...
Using Web Services from Mobile Devices. Software Application for Academic Environment
In our paper we depict two modes of accessing Web services from mobile devices. These modalities correspond to different types of mobile devices, and, as a consequence, we use adapted client modules for each type. The so...

Evaluation of the Usability and Pedagogical Effectiveness of an Augmented Reality Learning Scenario
Although several evaluation methods for e-learning interactive systems exist, few of them have been adapted for the evaluation of the pedagogical effectiveness and usability of augmented reality (AR) systems. In this pap...
