Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a contextual modelling of the user browsing behaviour aiming to identify the user´s information needs from his real-time context focusing on two parameters that are the recent interests and the temporal events that may influence the user browsing behaviour. Modelling the search behaviour of the user through these parameters gave good preliminary results which encouraged us to continue our research in this pathway.
