Description/Abstract

This report provides an overview of the work that the author has conducted into the field of adaptive hypermedia systems. This work produced an agent-based adaptive link augmentation system that was presented at the first adaptive hypermedia conference. The knowledge gained from creating this system has been combined with context research to produce a system for augmenting links based on a document’s spatial context. These links are provided from a collection of linkbases, which are activated on demand. Presented with this work is an overview of the history of AH, including a description of some of the pivotal AH, recommender and knowledge delivery systems. The report concludes with the author’s view of the future for this research, including a work plan covering the next 16 months.
