Abstract

Today’s design of e-services for tourists means dealing with a big quantity of information and metadata that designers should be able to leverage to generate perceived values for users. In this paper we revise the design choices followed to implement a recommender system, highlighting the data processing and architectural point of view, and finally we propose a multi-agent recommender system.

  1. 1.

    This represents the distance between two activities, not the similarity, but we can still easily get, for each activity, the most similar ones by sorting according to the distance, ascending.
