Abstract

In this work we present "AlertMe", a semantics-based, context-aware notification system that provides personalized alerts to graduate students based on their preferences. An extensive description of the system is carried out. We present the underlying ontology that models the available knowledge, as well as how higher level knowledge inference and context-based decision making is achieved through rule-based reasoning. Finally, we outline the technical aspects of the developed system, covering issues involving the integration of the various subcomponents.
