Context-aware recommender system for system of information systems

Abstract

Working collaboratively is no longer an issue but a reality, what matters today is how to implement collaboration so that it is as successful as possible. However, successful collaboration is not easy and is conditioned by different factors that can influence it. It is therefore necessary to take these impacting factors into account within the context of collaboration for promoting the effectiveness of collaboration. Among the impacting factors, collaborator is a main one, which is closely associated with the effectiveness and success of collaborations. The selection and/or recommendation of collaborators, taking into account the context of collaboration, can greatly influence the success of collaboration. Meanwhile, thanks to the development of information technology, many collaborative tools are available, such as e-mail and real-time chat tools. These tools can be integrated into a web-based collaborative work environment. Such environments allow users to collaborate beyond the limit of geographical distances. During collaboration, users can utilize multiple integrated tools, perform various activities, and thus leave traces of activities that can be exploited. This exploitation will be more precise when the context of collaboration is described. It is therefore worth developing web-based collaborative work environments with a model of the collaboration context. Processing the recorded traces can then lead to context-aware collaborator recommendations that can reinforce the collaboration. To generate collaborator recommendations in web-based Collaborative Working Environments, this thesis focuses on producing context-aware collaborator recommendations by defining, modeling, and processing the collaboration context. To achieve this, we first propose a definition of the collaboration context and choose to build a collaboration context ontology given the advantages of the ontology-based modeling approach. Next, an ontologybased semantic similarity is developed and applied in three different algorithms (i.e., PreF1, PoF1, and PoF2) to generate context-aware collaborator recommendations. Furthermore, we deploy the collaboration context ontology into web-based Collaborative Working Environments by considering an architecture of System of Information Systems from the viewpoint of web-based Collaborative Working Environments. Based on this architecture, a corresponding prototype of web-based Collaborative Working Environment is then constructed. Finally, a dataset of scientific collaborations is employed to test and evaluate the performances of the three context-aware collaborator recommendation algorithms.
