Abstract :
With the constant evolution of the Internet, a repetitive and ordinary task such as searching online resources has become more complex due to the amount of web services and formats available (e.g., video, audio, text or images). In order to obtain resources within a specific domain, a user manually performs several tasks, such as navigating through different web services, filtering according to various criteria and selecting the relevant results. However, the insufficient contextual information of the underlying application hampers the user´s experience. In this paper, we propose a tool to improve a user´s experience by automating the task of retrieving interesting resources in a multi user setting. We apply this approach to a chat scenario where users are exposed to resources that are of common interests by exploiting the users´ personal context information.
