Abstract

Finding conferences with papers relevant to their interests can be difficult for research conference attendees because everyone has different preferences. To address this issue, this research proposes a framework and a prototype of a personalized recommendation system for research conference items. When making recommendations, the prototype considers the user's research area and college. The prototype employs three algorithms to recommend conference papers based on what users have previously read: a collaborative filtering algorithm (k-Nearest Neighbor), a content-based filtering algorithm, and a hybrid of the two. The design science research paradigm was used to write the research. This research covers the conceptual framework design and prototype implementation in programming languages that the researcher is capable of implementing, as well as a brief state of the art of the recommending systems literature. The prototype's usability was assessed using the information retrieval concept. To assess the quality of recommendations, system performance and a user-centered evaluation were performed. The usability evaluation results showed that users were generally pleased with the prototype's usability. Users who tested the prototype were generally pleased with the quality of the recommendations. The performance of a prototype system is 86 percent, and user acceptance is 86.5 percent. Finally, future works in the area are clearly stated.
