Fine-grained user models by means of asynchronous web technologies

Although asynchronous HTTP technologies have grown in importance with the emergence of Web 2.0, most web-based Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) still exclusively use serverside monitoring of user behaviour to set up the user model. This paper discusses how asynchronous technologies and client-side observation may lead to more accurate and detailed user models, and how that might benefit nextgeneration AHS.
