Context and Objectives
======================
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.
Recommender systems are e-commerce applications that provide
advice to users about products or services they might be interested in.
Web based recommender 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. Recommender 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.
There remain difficulties limiting the full exploitation of
personalization and recommendation, arising both from technology
and from the "human factor." The goal of this workshop is to bring
together academic and industrial researchers to discuss the most
innovative approaches to recommendation in the context of
personalised e-Commence applications and in particular to discuss
emerging related topics such as: modelling decision making in
recommendation systems, cooperative query answering, session
modelling, user modelling, web mining, methodologies for comparison
and explanation of recommendations.
