Abstract

Adaptive information systems typically exploit knowledge about the user's interests, preferences, goals etc. to determine what should be presented to the user and how this presentation should take place. When dealing with mobile users, however, information about their motions—the places visited, the duration of stays, average velocity etc.—can be additionally exploited to enrich the user model and better adapt the system behavior to the user's needs. This paper discusses the use of positioning data and background knowledge to achieve such a motion-based adaptation of information provision.
