Agents in Delivering Personalized Content Based on Semantic Metadata

In the SmartPush project professional editors add semantic metadata to information flow when the content is created. This metadata is used to filter the information flow to provide the end users with a personalized news service. Personalization and delivery process is modeled as software agents, to whom the user delegates the task of sifting through incoming information. The key components of the SmartPush architecture have been implemented, and the focus in the project is shifting towards a pilot implementation and testing the ideas in practice.
