ABSTRACT Intelligent Environments and other Computer Science sub-fields based on the concepts of context and context-awareness are created with the explicit or implicit intention of providing services which are satisfying to the intended users of those environments. This article discusses the pragmatic importance of Preferences within the process of developing Intelligent Environments as a conceptual tool to achieve that system-user alignment and we also look at the practical challenges of implementing different aspects of the concept of Preferences. This study is not aimed at providing a definitive solution, rather to assess the advantages and disadvantages of different available options with the view to inform the next wave of developments in the area.

智能环境中的用户偏好

摘要 基于上下文和上下文感知概念的智能环境和其他计算机科学子领域的创建具有明确或隐含的意图，即提供使这些环境的预期用户满意的服务。本文讨论了首选项在开发智能环境过程中作为实现系统用户对齐的概念工具的实际重要性，我们还研究了实现首选项概念不同方面的实际挑战。本研究的目的不是提供明确的解决方案，而是评估不同可用选项的优缺点，以便为该地区的下一波发展提供信息。
