Meanwhile, proper performance assessment has become a critical issue for the efficient deployment of adaptive Web systems that implement complex user model inferences. This paper presents one of the first efforts to develop a framework for evaluating the performance of user modeling servers (UMS). We conduct a performance-driven analysis of the UMS conceptual model, extracting a comprehensive set of parameters in order to build a practical UMS Performance Evaluation Framework (UMS/PEF). We also apply the proposed UMS/PEF framework for comparing performances between different UMS. Experimental results have demonstrated high utility of the proposed UMS/PEF framework.
