Abstract
An information dissemination system identifies the interests of a user from information derived from various sources, such as, by way of example, the user's calendar entries, emails, World Wide Web (web) usage information, documents, enterprise resource planning (ERP) data, and the like. The information dissemination system then creates a profile for the user, and includes in the profile the details about the user's interests including the information sources to query, the user events which were analyzed to determine the user's interest, the topics derived from the analyzed events, the queries generated for the analyzed events, a language model of terms that are relevant to the user, and other information regarding the user. The information dissemination system then periodically executes the queries against the appropriate information sources, ranks the search results obtained from executing the queries, and renders the ranked search results to the user.
