Toward the Next Generation of Recommender Systems: Applications and Research Challenges

Recommender systems are assisting users in the process of identifying items that fulfill their wishes and needs. These systems are successfully applied in different e-commerce settings, for example, to the recommendation of news, movies, music, books, and digital cameras. The major goal of this book chapter is to discuss new and upcoming applications of recommendation technologies and to provide an outlook on major characteristics of future technological developments. Based on a literature analysis, we discuss new and upcoming applications in domains such as software engineering, data and knowledge engineering, configurable items, and persuasive technologies. Thereafter we sketch major properties of the next generation of recommendation technologies.
