Description :
Hypermedia systems may be one of the most significant contributions to the Internet in recent years. This powerful new technology has revolutionized the delivery of e-content through the Internet. However, as the needs of users have changed, the hypermedia systems themselves have also changed. In just the past few years, adaptive and adaptable hypermedia systems have emerged. These systems can custom tailor information to individual end-users. The introduction of these systems yields countless benefits for both users and businesses.
Adaptable and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems examines both types of new hypermedia systems; discussing the benefits, impacts and implications of both. This book covers the most current issues in the field, while providing insight into analytical and architectural aspects of the topic. Additionally, applications are provided in real world setting to allow for a better and more thorough understanding of hypermedia systems.
Sherry Y. Chen is a senior lecturer in the School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics, at Brunel University, UK. She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Sheffield, UK, in 2000. She has published widely in the areas of human-computer interaction, data mining, digital libraries, and educational technology. Dr. Chen was the co-editor of the books, Adaptive and Adaptable Hypermedia Systems and Advances in Web-based Education: Personalized Learning Environments, and is a member of the editorial boards of five computing journals. She has been invited to give several talks, including the 9th International Conference on User Modelling and EPSRC Network of Women in Computer Science colloquium.
