Proactive information delivery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In information systems, proactive information delivery (PID) is a paradigm of supporting users in doing their work by delivering them information related to the current working situation. Unlike information search process where the user has to initiate the search, PID tries to identify the user's current information need.

Classification of PID methods[edit]

Classification of PID tools is given in [1]
