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

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.
