Marques V., Costa A., Novais P., A Dynamic User Profiling Technique in a AmI Environment, World Congress on Information and Communication Technologies, IEEE Computer Society, Mumbai, India, ISBN: 978-1-4673-0125-1, pp 1251-1256, 2011. Currently there are many services that
can assist the human being in his decision making.
Many of these services provide aid as consistent as
possible attending the characteristics and preferences
of a user, which compiled results in a person’s profile.
Without profiles, systems could not provide a coherent
aid to a user. In addition we can consider the profiles
as the basis of recommendation systems. Paramount
with cognitive helping systems, that provide decisions
and recommendations these actions can more accu-
rate and user driven. However, the profiles need to
be updated over time, as a human being changes
of preferences or beliefs, the profiles also need to
adapt to dynamic environments. It is introduced a
project that applies the Bayesian Networks and Case-
Based Reasoning techniques to create and modulate
user profiles in a coherent and dynamic way, using
stochastic models and high-level event relations and
characteristics to devise an accurate suggestion of
activities the user can perform, being integrated in
an Ambient Assisted Living Project.
