Abstract: The paper develops and discusses a theoretical model for collaborative design systems based on motivated learning agents, however, with a novel self-development module to help the system improve itself. Self-Development Agent based on previous work is an intelligent agent, which not only receives information from sensors in the environment, but also gives valuable suggestions that could help to improve the system. Two case studies with different system setups are described in detail to help better understand this model. The theoretical model is not limited to the specific systems described in this paper, but could be adapted to other collaboration systems as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Predicting the preferences of users and providing the personalized services or products based on their preferences are the important issues. However, the research considering users’ preferences on context-aware computing is a relatively insufficient research field. Hence, this paper aims to propose an agent-based framework for providing the personalized services using context history on context-aware computing. Based on the proposed framework, we implement a prototype system to show the feasibility of the framework. Previous researches require that the users input their preference manually, but this research provides the personalized services extracting the relationship between users’ profile and services under the same context automatically.
