Description

ABSTRACT: This paper describes a user profile management agent on the World Wide Web. To help the web users to get relevant information efficiently, various sites are providing personalized services and the number of such sites is rapidly increasing. However, deciding where to locate user profiles of personalized applications is a difficult problem. To date, there have been two possibilities: storing user profiles on the server, or storing them on the client, which is a terminal that runs a web browser. Both these methods have advantages and disadvantages. When the user profiles are stored on the server, it is impossible for the users to use the profiles to access other personalized servers. When they are stored on the clients, it is difficult for the server to compare different users' profiles and to provide a so-called collaborative filtering service. Our method solves these problems by storing the user profiles on the agent. The agent keeps the user profiles of a group of users and mediates the communications between the users and personalized servers. We have implement the user profile management agent as an extended proxy server of the view and have demonstrated that the proxy server is useful for sharing user profiles both between different personalized server and between different users.
