Abstract

The goal of the work presented in this paper is to design a context-aware recommender system for mobile devices. The approach is based on decentralized, item-based collaborative filtering on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). The already implemented system exchanges rating vectors among PDAs, computes local matrices of item similarity and utilizes them to generate recommendations. We then explain how to contextualize this recommender system according to the current time and position of the user. The idea is to use a weighted combination of the collaborative filtering score with a context score function. We are currently working on applying this approach in real world scenarios.
