Abstract
A context-aware service recommender system receives current user context and recommends a list of browser-based services to a user on a mobile devices. A user'"'"'s mobile device receives context events from smart environments in which the mobile device is operating. Data about the context events is relayed to a service recommendation server. The server develops recommendations based on the context and other factors, and relays information about the recommended services to the mobile device. As each recommended service is selected or ignored by the user of the mobile device, the device sends implicit feedback with this information to the service recommendation server for use in subsequent recommendations.
