Abstract
The amount of news delivered by newspapers, television news broadcasts and web sites is increasing every day. Users looking for interesting news spend a lot of time in retrieving and filtering the right news from this massive amount of available information. For this reason, delivering highly personalized news is becoming more and more important for information providers which want to add value to their services. If the personalized news comes along with video, images and sound besides the basic text description and if it can be delivered to a large number of different hardware devices the added value is definitely increased. In this paper we discuss the architecture and preliminary development of a multimedia, multichannel and personalized news provider built on top of an existing prototypical system, ClickNews. The main contribution of our work lies in the analysis and experiments carried out to understand how well-established and emerging technologies can be integrated to boost news providers.
Partially supported by the MIUR project S585-P “ClickWorld: Tecniche sperimentali di Web Proactive Personalization”.
