Abstract

This poster outlines a new approach for decentralized user modelling using a taxonomy of purposes that define a variety of context-dependent user modelling processes rather than creating and maintaining a single centralized user modelling server. This approach can be useful in distributed environments where autonomous agents develop user models independently and do not necessarily adhere to a common representation scheme.
