The paper describes a module within the distance language learning environment of the Language Centre at the Genoa University which adapts, through an ontology, learning activities to the device in use. Adaptation means not simply resizing a page but also the ability to transform the nature of a task so that it fits the device with the smallest...

This paper presents an analysis and a classification of adaptive systems with respect to the kind of semantic technology they exploit to accomplish or improve specific adaptation and user modeling tasks. This classification is based on a distinction between strong semantic techniques and weak semantic techniques. The former techniques are based...

The exponential increase of adaptive systems and the difficulty of identifying the relevant dimensions for the construction of user models, are the bases of the choice of building a framework for user modelling. The goal is that of defining a method for identifying such dimensions and moreover creating a taxonomy of goals, features and...

This paper presents a starting project on Web of Things and Linked Data. Physical objects are provided with a digital memory that enables them to store data about themselves and to link other resources in the Linked Data cloud. This possibility radically transforms the interaction with real objects and the user experience with the Web. In this...

In the near future we will be surrounded by plenty of smart interconnected objects and by objects linked to their virtual counterpart on the Web. The availability of a virtual object connected to the physical object can be an extraordinary opportunity to make physical objects accessible and inclusive. However, to exploit this opportunity and to...

The project described in this paper applies the principles of adaptivity to a "traditional" Call Center in order to support the Operator in the interaction with the Customer. The system uses the models of both the Customer and the Operator and builds up the stepwise answer through an adaptive workflow.

The research project presented in this paper concerns an ontology-based recommender for teacher training and support. An important issue in Computer-Assisted Language Learning education is the complexity of exploiting technology in order to enhance language teaching. The integration of technology into language education is a rather complex...
