Abstract: In this paper we present PerKApp, a context-aware system for inducing the user to adopt healthier lifestyles, based on a novel combination of persuasion technologies, natural language generation techniques, and deep knowledge representation tools. In our view, personalized and tailored messages generated according to the characteristic of user, user preferences and the context are extremely useful to increase the effectiveness of persuasion efforts in terms of user acceptance of the proposed behaviors. The architecture of PerKApp is designed with the goal of ease scalability and extendibility to other domains by redefinition of the knowledge and linguistic content.
