Adaptation and Personalization Community Group created

The Adaptation and Personalization Community Group has been launched:
  https://www.w3.org/community/adaptation/

--------------------------------------------------
Today, beyond language preferences, there are few ways for users to express fine-grained content preferences to Web servers for them to adapt, personalize, or customize content. Without user-preference tools, sites like simple.wikipedia.org resort to providing separate URLs instead of providing different views of content for the primary URL.

It would both benefit users and provide websites with new opportunities to better meet users' needs if users could express a greater number of content-customization preferences such as reading level, language fluency, and background knowledge. Artificial intelligence is making it easier for websites to customize content, creating new opportunities to meet finer-grained preferences.

The mission of this group is to explore and discuss mechanisms for users to express content-customization preferences. This group will explore and discuss topics including artificial intelligence, adaptive hypermedia, adaptive explanation, adaptive learning, adaptive instructional systems, and user modeling.

This group may publish Specifications.
