Towards a Model of Context-Aware Recommender System

Users often have difficulties to use large-scale information systems efficiently because of their complexity. Additionally, these systems might be context dependent. If these context dependencies are taken into account during the system’s run-time phase, the most appropriate functionality might be provided to users in the form of recommendations for each context situation. The paper proposes to account for the context dependencies by using context aware recommendations and outlines an approach for modeling such recommendations. This approach is based on methodological foundations of Capability Driven Development. The paper discusses a motivational case for developing context aware recommendations and presents the initial method for recommendation modelling.
