Recommendation of Documentary Units in a Progressively Intelligent City

Abstract

The large cities and capitals of developing countries are becoming larger and more populated. These cities are modernizing day by day in order to increase the standard of living of their constantly growing population. To do this, they are equipping themselves with the latest generation of intelligent infrastructures that can make a city very autonomous. Information and communication technologies (ICT) and information technology infrastructure (ITI) are at the heart of these new autonomous cities, enabling highly integrated services and real-time city monitoring through a network of sensors, wireless devices, cameras and unified portals connected to massive data centers. The populations of these cities in developing countries are mostly poorly educated and often need help and assistance to be able to live properly in a smart city. The solution we propose is a recommendation system that will use a software assistant to offer suggestions to a user in need. A first experiment will be made in Ouagadougou to offer recommendations of documentary units to the inhabitants of the city. In this way, we hope to guide the inhabitants of this city and create a high quality of life.
