Abstract
An increasingly important type of recommender systems comprises those that generate suggestions for groups rather than for individuals. In this chapter, we revise state of the art approaches on group formation, modelling and recommendation, and present challenging problems to be included in the group recommender system research agenda in the context of the Social Web.
