3 Workshop on Context-Aware Recommender Systems (CARS 2011)

Abstract

CARS 2011 builds upon the success of the two previous editions held in conjunction with the 3rd and 4th ACM Conferences on Recommender Systems in 2009 and 2010. The first CARS Workshop was held in New York, NY, USA (2009), and Barcelona, Spain, was the home of the second CARS Workshop in 2010.
