The widespread success of Semantic Web techniques, creating a Web of interoperable and machine readable data, offers novel strategies to represent data that might improve the current state of the art of recommender systems, in order to move towards a new generation of recommender systems which fully understand the items they deal with. Indeed, more and more semantic data are published following the Linked Data principles, that enable to set up links between objects in different data sources, by connecting information in a single global data space </pre> Marco de Gemmis 2013-06-19T15:18:11 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ai.user-modeling/2088 <pre> Please, excuse cross-posting! *****2nd Moodle Research Conference: Deadline extension: new deadline July 1, 2013 ***** Call for Papers: 2nd Moodle Research Conference 4th and 5th of October, 2013 Sousse, Tunisia http://research.moodle.net/ The Moodle Research Conference (MRC) is a unique annual event dedicated to research and development (R&amp;D) in learning and teaching carried out with Moodle.

Scientists are using vast amounts of data to explore galaxies, measure stresses on earth systems, create genetic profiles of living things and study the changing behaviors and mores of societies and individuals in a an increasing populated and fragile physical world steeped in networked digital technologies. Similarly, humanists are using new types of information objects, methodologies and tools to transform and expand their scholarly endeavors. Examples include the creation and use of digital representations of material culture by historians, introducing spatial and temporal indexed data into the study of literature and information visualizations to communicate the outcomes of traditional humanistic inquiry.

It is therefore important to investigate visualization techniques that support each user by adapting to such individual differences, both in terms of stable (long-term) user traits (e.g. perceptual speed, personality), as well as transitory (short-term) states (e.g. attention, current task, evolving expertise).
