From the beginning, EUD systems have shown that Recommendations can improve the user experience. However, these usability improvements are limited by a reliance on handcrafted rules and heuristics to generate reasonable and useful suggestions. When the number of possible Recommendations is large or the available context is too limited for traditional reasoning techniques, recommender technologies present a promising solution.
