Abstract
Messaging systems are essential for circulating information within an organization, yet currently the email-based exchange of information does not take advantage of technologies that could change several aspects of the way people share information and knowledge. In this paper we discuss basic functionality and technologies for an adaptive messaging system. Potentially, messaging systems could be utilized in a number of different modes. They help users to distribute information based on certain explicit or implicit criterions. They can help to find the recipient or a group of recipients for a message to be sent. Proactive information delivery based on information semantics and user profiles is another feature. In this paper we concentrate on just one component of the system — clustering of users based on their educational background.
