Abstract

Ubiquitous computing offers new chances and challenges to the field of user modeling. With the markup languages UserML and its corresponding ontology UserOL we try to contribute a platform for the communication about partial user models in a ubiquitous computing environment, where all different kinds of systems work together to satisfy the user’s needs. The expected result is that “permanent evaluation of user behaviour with different systems and devices will lead to better user models and thus allow better functions of adaptation like adaptive web-sites, recommended products, adaptive route planning or better speech interaction. We also present an implementation of a general user model browser and editor which is based on UserML and which is embedded in an ubiquitous computing simulation envi-ronment with the name UBI’s WORLD, see 6.
