Towards a Ubiquitous User Model for Profile Sharing and Reuse

2012 , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Gonzalez-Mendoza, Miguel , Hernandez-Gress, Neil

People interact with systems and applications through several devices and are willing to share information about preferences, interests and characteristics. Social networking profiles, data from advanced sensors attached to personal gadgets, and semantic web technologies such as FOAF and microformats are valuable sources of personal information that could provide a fair understanding of the user, but profile information is scattered over different user models. Some researchers in the ubiquitous user modeling community envision the need to share user model's information from heterogeneous sources. In this paper, we address the syntactic and semantic heterogeneity of user models in order to enable user modeling interoperability. We present a dynamic user profile structure based in Simple Knowledge Organization for the Web (SKOS) to provide knowledge representation for ubiquitous user model. We propose a two-tier matching strategy for concept schemas alignment to enable user modeling interoperability. Our proposal is proved in the application scenario of sharing and reusing data in order to deal with overweight and obesity.

Consumer Acceptance of an SMS-Assisted Smoking Cessation Intervention: A Multicountry Study

2013 , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , González-Mendoza, Miguel

A major challenge for creating personalized diet and activity applications is to capture static, semi-static and dynamic information about a person in a user-friendly way. Sharing and reusing information between heterogeneous sources like social networking applications, personal health records, specialized applications for diet and exercise monitoring, and personal devices with attached sensors can achieve a better understanding of the user. But gathering distributed user information from heterogeneous sources and making sense of it to enable user model interoperability entails handling the semantic heterogeneity of the user models. In this paper we describe a flexible user modeling ontology to provide representation for a ubiquitous user model and a process of concept alignment for interoperability between heterogeneous sources to address the lack of interoperability between profile suppliers and consumers. We provide an example of how information of different profile suppliers can be used to enrich fitness applications and personalize web services.

Consumption of Profile Information from Heterogeneous Sources to Leverage Human-Computer Interaction

2013 , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , González-Mendoza, Miguel

Ubiquitous computing brings new challenges to system and application designers. It is not enough to deliver information at any time, at any place and in any form; information must be relevant to the user. Ubiquitous user model interoperability allows enrichment of adaptive systems obtaining a better understanding of the user, but conflict resolution is necessary to deliver the best suited values despite the existence of international standards for different concepts. In this paper, we present the algorithm of conflict resolution to consume of profile information from the ubiquitous user model. We illustrate the enrichment of user models with one elemental concept for human-computer interaction: the language concept.
