Description
Summary:This paper presents INTRIGUE, a prototype tourist-information server that presents information about the area around Turin City, Italy, on desktop and hand held devices.This system recommends sightseeing destinations and itineraries by taking into account the preferences of heterogeneous tourist groups (such as families with children or the elderly) and explains the recommendations by addressing the group members' requirements. Moreover, the system provides an interactive agenda for scheduling the tour. The services offered by INTRIGUE rely on user modeling and adaptive hypermedia techniques; furthermore, XML-based technologies support the generation of the user interface and its adaptation to Web browsers and WAP minibrowsers.
