Abstract

Today, Portals provide users with a central point of access to companywide information. Initially they focused on presenting the most valuable and widely used information to users for efficient information access. But the amount of information accessible quickly grew and finding the right information can hence become a tedious task. We will demonstrate a solution for adapting the Portal's structure, especially its navigation and page structures. We allow for advanced adaptations that each user can perform manually as well as for automated adaptations based on user- and context models reflecting users' interests and preferences. Our main concepts have been embedded and evaluated within IBM's WebSphere Portal.
