User and Context Information in Context-Aware Recommender Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

Using contextual information inside recommendation systems is an effective approach to generate more accurate recommendations. This paper present a review conducted to identify what user’s and context’s information it’s considered relevant by researchers to generate contextual recommendations from 2012 to 2015, based on Kitchenham systematic literature review methodology. The results indicated that there is a large set of possible user’s and context’s information that can be used to do recommendations. This review can be taken as basis for future context-aware recommender systems development, as well as development of contextual user models.
