An Agent-Based Approach to Adaptive Hypermedia Using a Link Service: VOL. 1892

This paper describes an approach to adaptive hypermedia by incorporating linkbases into an agent-based system (PAADS). The agents are built on top of an agent framework developed at Southampton University. Personal agents keep a local user model and provide adaptive navigation support. This is accomplished by extracting keywords found in the user model and through the user's browsing history, and by then replacing occurrences of those words with URLs supplied by a linkbase agent. A third agent provides the ability to query these user models through a web browser

Just-in-time hypermedia

Many analytical applications, especially legacy systems, create documents and display screens in response to user queries dynamically or in real time . These documents and displays do not exist in advance, and thus hypermedia must be generated \u27just in time -automatically and dynamically. This dissertation details the idea of \u27just-in-time hypermedia and discusses challenges encountered in this research area. A fully detailed literature review about the research issues and related research work is given. A framework for the \u27just-in-time hypermedia compares virtual documents with static documents, as well as dynamic with static hypermedia functionality. Conceptual \u27just-in-time hypermedia architecture is proposed in terms of requirements and logical components. The \u27just-in-time hypermedia engine is described in terms of architecture, functional components, information flow, and implementation details. Then test results are described and evaluated. Lastly, contributions, limitations, and future work are discussed

An Agent-Based Approach to Adaptive Hypermedia Using a Link Service

Abstract. This paper describes an approach to adaptive hypermedia by incorporating linkbases into an agent-based system (PAADS). The agents are built on top of an agent framework developed at Southampton University. Personal agents keep a local user model and provide adaptive navigation support. This is accomplished by extracting keywords found in the user model and through the user’s browsing history, and by then replacing occurrences of those words with URL’s supplied by a linkbase agent. A third agent provides the ability to query these user models through a web browser. 1

Adaptive hypertext and hypermedia : workshop : proceedings, 3rd, Sonthofen, Germany, July 14, 2001 and Aarhus, Denmark, August 15, 2001

This paper presents two empirical usability studies based on techniques from Human-Computer Interaction (HeI) and software engineering, which were used to elicit requirements for the design of a hypertext generation system. Here we will discuss the findings of these studies, which were used to motivate the choice of adaptivity techniques. The results showed dependencies between different ways to adapt the explanation content and the document length and formatting. Therefore, the system's architecture had to be modified to cope with this requirement. In addition, the system had to be made adaptable, in addition to being adaptive, in order to satisfy the elicited users' preferences
