User and Usage Profiling in a Multi-platform Service Environment

Abstract

In this paper, we present a beginning work on a behavioural profiling approach within a multi- service environment where the service usage and content consumptions data are collected on different service delivery platforms and/or on the user terminals. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to aggregate these potentially heterogeneous data so that a faithful user profile can be induced. The information structure used for profile data representation must be designed in a way to allow its utilization by a number of real-time multi-media personalized applications.
