Obsession can be deadly. When a fellow student in her glass-blowing class drops dead, Dr. Kate Chambers wants to help the police catch the killer. The victim, Eugene Rose, seemed like a nice kid with a bright future in art collecting. Eugene attended the university where Kate works. Her connections make her a valuable asset in the investigation, and because of her people skills, she is invited into situations that Jablonsky would need a warrant for. Even though he worries for her safety, her psychological insights have proven valuable to his murder cases. The deeper they dig, the more complicated this case becomes. How is a family heirloom tied to the local parish? What really happened on a study abroad trip to Italy? And how did all of that lead to the untimely death of Eugene Rose? Kate and Jablonsky are determined to stop the murderer before other deaths can follow. This traditional mystery will keep you guessing all the way to the end. Broken Glass is the second book in the Pittsburgh Murder Mystery series; however, each book can be read as a stand-alone or in order of publication.

Personalized and adaptive systems employ user models to adapt content, services, interaction or navigation to individual users’ needs. User models can be inferred from implicitly observed information, such as the user’s interaction history or current location, or from explicitly entered information, such as user profile data or ratings. Applications of personalization include item recommendation, location-based services, learning assistance and the tailored selection of interaction modalities. With the transition from desktop computers to mobile devices and ubiquitous environments, the need for adapting to changing contexts is even more important. However, this also poses new challenges concerning privacy issues, user control, transparency, and explainability. In addition, user experience and other human factors are becoming increasingly important. This book describes foundations of user modeling, discusses user interaction as a basis for adaptivity, and showcases several personalization approaches in a variety of domains, including music recommendation, tourism, and accessible user interfaces.
