Vision Statement:

This research is part of an endeavour to deploy adaptive frameworks that are aware of prevailing environmental conditions and of user needs. In information retrieval, service composition and system configuration the aim is to create adaptive schemes that can deal with information overload, support semantic interoperability, improve throughput and enhance user experience and satisfaction. The focus of the current research activity is on the development of an adaptive mediation framework for the selection, composition, recommendation and delivery of appropriate material to learners in a virtual environment. It seeks to foster greater engagement through personalised and adaptive interaction.
