....applications such as the recreational use of television programming pose special problems and opportunities for research in filtering [7, p.37] Several current trends make TV an interesting application area for information filtering. TV viewers are facing an information overload situation [10]. A number of technical improvements, such as cable, satellite, and digital TV technology have resulted in an increasing number of available TV channels. Today, hundreds of channels broadcast thousands of programs every day. Since the amount of content that is of interest for a given viewer has ....

....information sources becoming easier, and the number of users becoming greater, the need for easier to use software is becoming critical. However with the increase of easy to use tools for generating and distributing information, the amount of information flowing across the networks is growing [Denning 1982]. Business and research organisations can generate huge amounts of information, such as memoranda, announcements of meetings and conferences etc, yet at any one time this information will be of interest to only a fraction of the recipients [Foltz Dumais 1992] Information Filtering is not a new ....
....media, the rate and complexity of information traffic is continually growing, along with the need to handle this now overwhelming flood of data. Visionaries, such as Denning and Kay, foresaw the need for mechanisms to aid the user in filtering out unwanted information delivered to the user [Denning 1982] or in searching out information of interest [Kay 1984] These two distinct research areas of Information Retrieval Filtering and Software Agents are now beginning to recombine in the development of interface agents. An interface agent can act as a personal assistant which can collaborate with the ....

....The following section reviews those efforts. 4.3. 2 Social Filtering and Document Recommender Systems The idea to focus on the reception of information via some sort of filtering mechanisms, as opposed to the generation of information via a pre or post coordinated search, was stressed by Denning in his 1982 ACM President s letter (Denning, 1982) cited in (Oard, 1997) Attention has therefore been focused on Denning s term information filtering. The task is simple: to sort through large volumes of information and present the user with sources of information that are likely to satisfy his or her ....

.... Examples for the collaborative filtering approach, on the one hand, are systems filtering Usenet articles (e.g. Brewer Johnson 1994; Resnick et al. 1994; Konstan et al. 1997; Terveen et al. 1997b) In the presence of a large amount of low quality items on the net (also called electronic junk (Denning 1982)) the idea is that consumers help each other to distinguish between high quality and low quality items by providing ratings for items they have investigated. These ratings are collected and can then be used by others to focus on those items collectively rated best (or at least rated acceptable) ....

....systems, sometimes right across the world but just as often between people who work in offices right next door to each other. This is indeed an invaluable service, but most users have experienced the problems associated with receiving large quantities of unsorted and frequently unsolicited mail [Denning 1982]. We are seeing more and more managers who used to be enthusiastic e mail correspondents turning over all their e mail communication to secretaries for sorting, forwarding, printing out, and of course discarding. In a well structured electronic mail system the mail can be categorised by author, ....
