AQMIS: An Adaptive Querying Prototype for Mobile Information Systems
Résumé
Nowadays, with Mobile Information Systems (MIS), users in general, and business men in particular, move around new environments while being accompanied by systems that take their location into consideration. In this paper, we present a prototype (AQMIS) that returns to the user a set of semi-structured documents (existing in an organization’s database). Our prototype return adapted documents that meet the user profile (interest, location, etc.). In order to realize this step, we allow the user to request several types of queries that concern his interests and/or the desired location. In order to realize the adaptation process, we propose a mechanism that combines user interests (about the content of returned documents) and his location interests in order to return adapted results. This adaptation process aims to reduce the cognitive overload in mobility.
