SIM-Filter: User Profile based Smart Information Filtering and Personalization in Smartcard

The emergence of new information and communication system technologies allow the appearance of new techniques of data processing. Thus, it is increasingly difficult to user to find pertinent information in reasonable duration, unless knowing what exactly is looking-for, where and how getting it. We propose an Internet based filtering system that integrates user profile (i.e. identity and preferences data). User profile is embarked in a smartcard in order to guarantee its privacy and confidentiality. Our system objectives are twofold. First, we propose an evolved and extensible model to represent the user preferences with guaranty of privacy and security. The more the user surfs on the web, the more his profile is enriched implicitly. Second, our system must provide the pertinent information to the user according to his profile at any time, anywhere, and in any form. The design and implementation of our system is also presented.
