Abstract:
Most recommender systems are designed to
suggest alternatives – such as a movie to see or a music
CD to buy – to individuals as they browse the World Wide
Web at their desktop. Pocket RestaurantFinder is a new
recommender system that suggests alternatives to a group
of people, taking into account the different preferences
of the members of that group. Furthermore, the system is a
situated computing application: designed to run on a kiosk
or a handheld computer, allowing it to be used in the
physical contexts in which it may be most useful, such as
when a group of conference attendees are trying to decide
upon a restaurant for dinner.
