Abstract

Focusing on Personal Video Recorder, the paper presents an environment to support users in choosing which TV programs register through recommendations based on user-to-user similarity. Recommendations are presented to users in a Facebook application which is double aimed: on the one hand, it allows to collect user's feedback on the recommended items; on the other hand, it allows to define a social network-based users similarity which is exploited to optimize the recommendation process.
