Dr. Salma Najar fr.linkedin.com/in/salmanajar/ Salma Najar Manuele Kirsch-Pinheiro Carine Souveyet Pervasive Information System (PIS) Integration of IS in dynamic and heterogeneous environment Context-awareness and user’s needs satisfaction Predictable and expected behavior Pervasive Environment Integration of new invisible technologies in the daily life Information System User’s needs satisfaction Controllable and predictable Transparency?Proactivity?Context-Awareness? Most appropriate services? User’s intentions satisfaction? Innovative approach : User-centred contextual vision of PIS Intentional approach User’s intention & intention that service can satisfy Contextual approach User’s current context & service required context execution Service Discovery Service Discovery Most appropriate services Exploitation of the dynamic between intention, context and service A CONTEXT-AWARE INTENTIONAL SERVICE PREDICTION MECHANISM IN PIS Transparency Proactivity Reduce user’s effort understanding Hide complexity User centred Vision Intention Prediction Better understanding of user’s future needs and intentions Answer to user’s needs with a non intrusive way Context predictionContext-Aware service Recommendation Approaches- [Sigg et al., 2010] - SCP [Meiners et al., 2010] - [Abbar et al., 2009] - [Xiao et al., 2010] Topics- Anticipate user’s next context - Fulfill missing context information - Proactively propose services to the user (+)- Provide a proactive behavior - Take into account contextual aspects (-)- Ignore user’s intentions that emerge in a given context or that hide behind service request - Propose user a service realization, ignoring why it is necessary - Based only on operational variability: the shift between the operational and the intentional layers is not taken into account Problem: Non exploitation of the close relation between intention and context in existing prediction and recommendation approaches Background Hypothesis: A service prediction mechanism, capable of anticipating user’s intentions in a given context, may improve the overall transparency of PIS.
