  <description><![CDATA[This workshop addressed the challenges, opportunities, and practical applications of knowledge-based electronic markets (e-markets). By e-markets, we mean markets on the web (or large inter-enterprise private networks) where buyers interact and transact with sellers. e-markets also include infrastructure support and mediation services and players, such as for yellow pages, catalogs, shopping search, advertising, sales assistants, brokering, aggregation, infomediaries, reputation and trust man...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Semantic data models for database systems provide
powerful tools to assist database administrators in designing
and maintaining schemas, but provide little
or no direct support for users of the database. Some
research has been done on mapping user models of
a domain to the underlying database using semantic
schemas. Little has been done, however, on mapping
conceptually meaningful data structures to a database
lacking a semantic schema, or to a multi-database system
that lacks a cons...]]></description>

Previous systems have relied on user models tailored to the particular needs of that system alone.

  <description><![CDATA[For interactive systems to communicate in a cooperative manner, they must have knowledge about their users. This article explores the role of user models in such systems, with the goal of identifying when and how user models may be useful in a cooperative interactive system. User models are classified by the types of knowledge they contain, several user modelling characteristics that serve as dimensions for an additional classification of user models are presented, and user model representati...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[This chapter discusses the application of various kinds of default reasoning in system-maintained models of users. In particular, we describe the general architecture of a domain-independent system for building and maintaining long-term models of individual users. The user modeling system is intended to provide a well-defined set of services for an application system interacting with various users and must build and maintain models of them. As the application system interacts with a user, it ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[An explanation facility is an important component of an expert system, but current systems, for the most part, have neglected the importance of tailoring a system's explanations to the user. This paper explores the role of user modeling in generating expert system explanations, making the claim that individualized user models are essential to produce good explanations when the system users vary in their knowledge of the domain or in their goals, plans, and preferences. To make this argument, ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[For intelligent interactive systems to communicate with humans in a natural manner, they must have knowledge about the system users. This paper explores the role of user modeling in such systems. It begins with a characterization of what a user model is and how it can be used. The types of information that a user model may be required to keep about a user are then identified and discussed. User models themselves can vary greatly depending on the requirements of the situation and the implement...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A major problem with incorporating a user model into an application has been the difficulty of acquiring the in- formation for the user model.  To make the user model effective, past approaches have relied heavily upon the explicit encoding of a large amount of information about potential system users.  This paper discusses techniques for acquiring knowledge about the user implicirly (as the interaction with the user proceeds) in interactions between users and cooperative advisory systems.
