Abstract

With the advent of Industrial Revolution, not only the choices in various fields increased but also the era of computer came into existence thereby revolutionizing the global market. People had numerous choices in front of them that often led to the confusion about what product might actually fulfill their requirements. So the need for having a system which could facilitate the selection criteria and eradicate the dilemma of masses, was realized and ultimately recommender systems of present day world were introduced. So we can refer recommender systems as software tools that narrow down our choices and provide us with the most suitable suggestions as per our requirements. In this paper, we propose a novel recommender system i.e. RWARS (Research Work Area Recommender System) that will recommend research work area to a user based on his/her characteristics similar to those of other users. The characteristics considered here are hobbies, subjects of interests, programming skills and future objectives. The proposed system will use Cosine Similarity approach of Collaborative Filtering.
