U. of Annaba, Algeria

Catherine Faron-Zucker is responsible in France of a scientific collaboration project with the LabGed laboratory of university of Annaba funded by CNRS and DPGRF (Algeria). This project aims to study the personalization and socialization of ubiquitous e-learning systems based on Semantic Web models and techniques. In this framework, she co-supervise with Algerian colleague Hassina Seridi two PhD students at LabGed.

In 2012, Khaled Halimi continued the development of a personal learning system with the aim of providing for each user a personal space according to his/her profile, providing intelligent recommendations based on the analysis of the user's interactions, relations and activities, recommending to students the best learning paths according to the recommendation of the best collaborators and the best learning resources, making all users aware of what happens in the system.

Samia Beldjoudi is working on the personalization of resource recommendations based on the analysis of tag-based user profiles; in 2012 she focused on social interactions between the folksonomy's members in order to extract the meaning of terms and overcome the problems of tags' ambiguity and spelling variations [25] .
