Web Resources Recommendation based on Dynamic Prediction of User Consumption on the Social Web

The Web is a giant repository of resources (Service and content), where Discovery and Recommendation systems are used to deliver the best ranked list of relevant web resources that meet user requirements. Nowadays, these systems are based on the simulation and automation of the user search criteria, considering the relation between consumption trends and the different kinds of users’ relationships with their virtual and physical environment, based on the information from the Social Web and mobile device sensors among others. These systems are executed once an explicit query of the user has been received; however, there are resources that are useful in specific situations, where these resources have high probability to be consumed, but, due to absence of a query they are not recommended to the users. In this regard, the question is: how to make a successful Web Resource Recommendation without the user query? In order to answer the question, this research proposal presents a novel approach to Recommend Web Resources based on Dynamic Prediction of User Consumption on the Social Web, which emulates the user behavior, the resource dynamism and the context opportunities, in real time, catching the best situations to make an asynchronous (unexpected by the user) recommendation of a useful Resources; and boost Web Resources consumption.
