From this we can tell that the advanced algorithm has the ability to catch and process the user’s preference information. Therefore, for tour planning problems with proper mathematical scope, the designed functions are all reasonable and the advanced ACA system is effective in processing the user’s customized information to provide rational results. Apart from testing of the system itself, we also considered the test of user satisfaction improvement, which has to be designed as a contrast test comparing with another system as a control group, and use real user testing methods and survey to validate the results. Therefore, we designed a contrast experiment Test 2 to see the advanced ACA’s performance on user experience and satisfaction in the prototype system. Test 3: Contrast Experiment. The control group is designed to be a tour planning system with exactly the same functioning process and user interface, but with the original ACA as its optimizing algorithm. However, this difference won’t be sensed by the user when they are simply interacting with the system. The adjustment will only be reflected in the system’s optimized recommending tour result. In our experiment, we use user survey and statistics analysis to testify the user experience performance – which is the best and only convincible way to verify such measurement. Some of our survey rating statements are like these: ‘I am satisfied with the customer flow of those recommended sites in the optimized route.’ ‘I can accept the weather condition of those system recommended sites.’ ‘I feel comfortable with the interaction between me and the system.’ ‘I will recommend my friends to adopt this tour planning system when they are travelling in an unfamiliar area.’ Tab.3 Some Survey Data from Users On the Contrast Experiment User A Statement # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Sys 1 (Advanced) 4 3 5 3 4 4 4 3 3 2 4 4 3 3 Sys 2 (Control) 4 3 5 3 4 4 4 3 3 2 4 3 3 2 User B Statement # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Sys 1 (Advanced) 4 4 5 4 2 4 4 3 3 4 4 4 3 3 Sys 2 (Control) 4 3 5 3 2 4 4 3 3 4 4 3 3 3 According to the above survey statistics, we can calculate the users’ satisfaction index: User A: Exp1=0.5*(4+3+5+4+2+4+3+3)/8+0.5*(3+4+4+3+3+4)/6=3.69 Exp2=0.5*(4+3+5+4+2+4+3+2)/8+0.5*(3+3+4+3+3+3)/6=3.40; ∴Exp1>Exp2; User B: Exp1=0.5*(4+4+5+4+4+4+3+3)/8+0.5*(4+2+4+3+3+4)/6=3.60; Exp2=0.5*(4+3+5+4+4+4+3+3)/8+0.5*(3+2+4+3+3+3)/6=3.38; ∴Exp1>Exp2; From the above statistics we can see that these two cases can to some extent reflect the improvement in user satisfaction with the advanced ACA. Even though the data scale was not large enough, but the partial results do have value for further reference, and we expect to see a more convincing breakthrough from continuing surveys. 5. Conclusions Our research analyzed the problem facing existing researchers that it is of much significant as well as great difficulty of finding a best way of utilizing context information when designing the functions of context-aware tour planning information system in order to provide best user experience in customization and recommendation. Then we proposed an advanced ACA, which quantized context information and processed it as weights of ants’ information factor. Finally, we build up a prototype system, set a real case background of the Shanghai Zoo, design and implemented both single-program and contrast experiments to verify the efficiency, effectiveness and user satisfaction improvement of the advanced algorithm. However, since our research is restricted by the authors’ knowledge limitation, there are inevitably inadequate points in our research. We inevitably missed some real context factors, and the scale of testing is still to be enlarged. Therefore, we hope the continuing research on this topic can focus on: 1) Establishing a mass user testing application to implement system test to a large scale, in order to reach a more convincing and reliable result. 2) Including more context information factors in the weights of the advanced ACA to see whether a better customization performance can be reached. 3) Specifying the recommendation process of the system, which will probably help much in gaining higher user satisfaction.
