Delivering Personalized Information: What You Get Is What You Want

Künstliche Intelligenz, 2001

The information age has brought with it massive amounts of data and the promise of being able to access any information when needed. However, the tools to help us navigate through this maze of information are not well developed. Users are faced with a significant information overload problem as they become more and more frustrated by their inability to locate

Human Models and Data in the Ubiquitous Information Infrastructure

2001

In this paper we address the modelling of humans in a context of ubiquitous information services. First we present the apparently conflicting requirements of, on the one hand avoiding data inconsistencies while reducing burdensome aspects of information technologies, and on the other hand, the respect for a person’s privacy. These problems are analysed in the context of current ICT developments towards a ubiquitous information infrastructure. The architecture of a Human Data Manager Service (HDMS) is proposed and illustrated. It offers a solution to information modelling problems that originate from the current shift in the scope of information systems, from the enterprise to the enterprise network in the market.

Knowledge Work in Context

ACM SIGIR Forum, 2017

There is an increase in stress during the job. This can lead to health issues such as burn-out for employees. In the SWELL project (http://www.swell-project.net) we investigate intelligent ICT solutions that can support knowledge workers to achieve a healthy way of living at work and at home. One of the causes of stress at work is the problem of 'information overload'. The availability of smartphones and tables with continuous internet access causes individuals to become overwhelmed with information. It becomes more difficult to separate work and home, but also to find the information you need to execute your work properly. A possible solution to this problem is to make application more 'context-aware'. This means that the application understands what a person is doing, such that it can provide the optimal support at the optimal time. This is the underlying motivation for this thesis. This thesis consists of three parts. In the first part we discuss the question &quo...
