Theme

Submissions are sought for a special edition for the Hypermedia Systems theme of JoDI on Personalisation of Computing & Services.

With the creation and expansion of adaptive computing services, there is now the capability to match a user's expectations. Modern users demand services that are relevant to their personal needs - be they the needs of a consumer, an educator, or even just enhancing a simple web enquiry. Any such service will have a multitude of requirements: how are they authored; how do they interoperate; what data should be gathered and how & when should it be used; and how we represent a 'personal Web' of data and services? Of course personalised computing is about much more than the World Wide Web; for example with ubiquitous and pervasive computing just around the corner, the requirement for an appropriate and user determined service that is mobile and international is made manifest. This special issue will describe and detail the leading research that addresses the fundamental issues in personalised computing services.

Papers should present original work, which has not been published or being reviewed for other journals & conferences. Papers should be written in English.

This special issue is interested in the Modeling, Implementation & Evaluation of the following topics:
  • Systems
    • Applications: especially in the areas of e-learning, e-health, e-commerce and digital libraries
    • Personalised Web Services
    • Adaptive/dynamic authoring
    • Personalisation and visualisation of user interfaces
  • Data
  • Standards for personalization
  • Extraction and application of metadata for personalisation
  • Issues
  • Interoperability between personalised systems
  • Evaluation of personalised frameworks & systems
  • Personalisation based upon the Semantic Web
  • Security and privacy
  • International use of personalised systems
  • Mobile and ubiquitous computing for the individual
