Adaptive Virtual Exhibitions

The paper presents a generic framework for designing and implementing multiuser virtual exhibitions that adapt visitors’ preferences and goals and foster the emergence of communities with common interests. A user-oriented platform for designing and executing virtual exhibitions has been presented in which implicit generation and adjustment of user profile allows exhibition to dynamically adapt content presentation to users’ interest and preferences. http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/djlit.33.4604
