Smart Space-Based Tourist Recommendation System - Application for Mobile Devices

The paper presents smart space-based tourist recommendation system that allows acquiring information about places of interests around the tourist from different internet sources (like wikipedia, wikivoyage, wikitravel, panoramio, flickr). The system implements ranking acquired attractions accord- ing to the tourist preferences and current situation in the tourist location. Tour- ists can rate attractions that they like or dislike. Based on these ratings a rec- ommendation service clusters tourists into groups with similar interests and us- es evaluations of tourists belonging to the same group for ranking attractions around the tourist. The paper presents a prototype service for these purposes that is based on smart space technology. The prototype has been developed for Android devices and is available for free downloaded from Google Play market.
