Products Included
Recommendation Engine
WebSphere Personalization also contains the LikeMinds collaborative filtering product from
Macromedia. LikeMinds can use multiple inputs such as individual clickstream data, purchase
history, explicit preferences, and product similarities to make product recommendations that
help customers decide what to buy. An example of usage for collaborative filtering is in
making product recommendations on a business-to-consumer site.
The copy of LikeMinds supplied with WebSphere Personalization is licensed for the storage
of 25,000 profiles. This can be expanded by purchasing WebSphere Collaborative Profiles.
Each license of WebSphere Collaborative Profiles authorizes a customer to expand the
storage capacity of LikeMinds by additional 250,000 profiles. There is no licensing limitation
on the number of profiles that can be stored and utilized with WebSphere Personalization
rules and resource engines. These run-time extensions can be used with WebSphere
Application Server Advanced Edition to deploy rules-based personalization sites with an
unlimited number of stored profiles.
Benefits
WebSphere Personalization provides the run-time extension to WebSphere Application
Server (Advanced Edition and Standard Edition) that allows deployment of personalized sites

Customizing a site's content for each site visitor makes the site easier to use, more
interesting, and more useful for the site visitor. More visitors can be attracted to a site while
