Abstract
In this paper we present an approach to enable interoperability of user-adaptive systems (UASs) in a ubiquitous environment. We model the interactions between systems as a semantics-based dialogue for exchanging user model and context data. We focus on the user data clarification and negotiation tasks, and show how semantics enables, on the one hand, the understanding among user-adaptive systems in a distributed ubiquitous setting, and on the other hand indirectly improves their effectiveness in producing end user results. We deploy and evaluate our approach in the UbiquiTO mobile adaptive tourist guide.
