-- ARGUS CENTER FOR INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE -- http://argus-acia.com/

An oldie-but-goodie from the ACIA:

Information Architecture and Personalization
by (AIfIA's own) Keith Instone

This white paper demonstrates the use of information architecture components
as a foundation for thinking about personalization. After defining the
information architecture components, it describes a model that combines the
components into a complete personalization system.
