Adaptive Hypermedia Systems Analysis Approach by Means of the GAF Framework

Abstract. Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) have long been concentrating on adaptive guidance of links between domain concepts with lots of custom developments and ad-hoc implementations. Here we consider a formalization approach to AHS composition and design by defining building blocks ’ interfaces and presenting corresponding dependencies by means of the GAF framework. This helps to identify system design guidelines and start building adaptive system from scratch as well as analyze adaptive system behaviour, architecture and risks involved.
