*** ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS FOR WEB-BASED EDUCATION ***
Web-based education is currently a hot research and development area.
Benefits of Web-based education are clear at hand: learners from all
over the world can enroll in learning activities, communicate with
other students or teachers, can discuss and control their learning
progress - solely based on an internet-capable computer. A challenging
research goal is to tailor the access to web-based education systems
to the individual learners' needs, as determined by such factors as
their previous knowledge on the subject, their learning style, their
general attitude and/or their cultural or linguistic background.

*** RECOMMENDATION AND PERSONALIZATION IN ECOMMERCE ***
Electronic commerce is the process of managing business occurring over
networks, which use non-proprietary protocols such as
Internet. Business includes buying and selling of information,
services and goods and maintaining a network of relationships between
organizations and individuals.
Recommendation systems are e-commerce applications that provide advice
to users about products or services they might be interested in. Web
based recommendation systems are the most notable application of the
web personalization, i.e., the process of tailoring a web site to
individual users' characteristics or preferences. Recommendation
systems are exploiting a vast range of AI technologies and are
defining new scenarios for human to human and human to machine
interaction. The ultimate goal is to offer an enhanced one-to-one
solution for each single user and meet his needs more effectively and
efficiently.

*** 2ND WORKSHOP ON PERSONALIZATION IN FUTURE TV ***
The first edition of the Personalization in Future TV workshop (TV'01)
was organized in Sonthofen, Germany, in 2001, as a forum in which
researchers from diverse areas such as machine learning, knowledge
engineering, cognitive sciences, adaptive user interfaces, and
business intelligence could share their experiences in the design,
development and exploitation of user interfaces for future TV
services.

*** PERSONALIZATION TECHNIQUES IN ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING ON THE WEB:
TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES ***
The goal of the workshop is to review the current state of the art in
the exploitation of personalization techniques within Web sites
devoted to electronic publishing, and to highlight major trends for
the future and open research problems. The workshop is addressed to
researchers and to electronic publishers.

*** DOCUMENT COMPRESSION AND SYNTHESIS IN ADAPTIVE HYPERMEDIA SYSTEMS ***
Nowadays, given the explosion of on-line information sources and the
existence of massive information universes, some forms of
(semi-)automatic lossless/lossy compression and synthesization of data
are becoming crucial. The main objective of compression/synthesization
is the production of a concise, condensed representation of the key
information content of an information source, for a particular user
and task.
Lossy Data Compression and Synthesization will play a central role in
mobile computing and in Adaptive Hypermedia Systems, where the
information presented to the user need to be dynamically scaled with
respect to many conditions, such as the user terminal, the environment
(e.g. location, time, place, battery conditions, etc.) and, of course,
the user needs and wishes.

**** ART, ART CRITICISM, COMPUTING SCIENCE, AND ADAPTIVE HYPERMEDIA ****
So far, adaptive hypermedia have been used mainly to develop online
educational systems, despite the potentially wider spectrum of uses to
which they could be applied. Some recent research has explored the
potential advantages of delivering cultural information by means of
adaptive methodologies, which can positively influence the way cultural
heritage information is approached, accessed, and absorbed. Much less
attention has been devoted to producing artistic creations by means of
AH. When used for art, AH should be considered as the canvas whose
characteristics can influence the final artistic result in a peculiar
way. The goal of this workshop is to investigate how artistic constructs
and AH can be integrated.
