Flexible Hypertext Workshop

A Workshop Held in Conjunction with The Eighth ACM International Hypertext Conference (Hypertext'97)

  • Southampton, UK --- April 6-11, 1997

  • Workshop Theme:

    A common problem with hypertext documents is that they are static and inflexible; that is, their content cannot be modified dynamically in order to address a particular user's knowledge or the context of delivery. As a result, document authors must construct documents which appeal to a variety of backgrounds, and to one intended audience model. The recognition of this problem has led towards building more flexible hypertext systems in order to provide user-tailored information. This workshop is intended as an inter-disciplinary exploration into flexible hypertext systems. Flexible hypertext systems are systems which can present different users with different views of the same hypertext network, or which can dynamically create the hypertext network and the content of the documents at the nodes of that network at run-time.
