Habilitando suporte a recomendação de serviços em redes baseadas na tecnologia UPnP.

Abstract

The emergence of devices capable of providing its services in local networks and the Internet has led to the development of protocols that allow the user to discover and use these services. Among the Service Discovery Protocols, UPnP enables devices that implement its specification to connect to the network and make their services available to a user or other UPnP devices. In environments with a large number of services available, the user may have difficulties to find the service that is really important for him among many available. The Recommender Systems are designed to help the user to deal with a large number of options available, the recommendations are based on historical of use of the system from user or users with similar tastes. This work proposes an architecture for the use of Recommender Systems to enable recommendation of services in networks based on UPnP technology.
