Introducing Reactivity in Adaptive Hypertext Generation.
Berardina Nadja De Carolis · 1998
Interaction with an adaptive hypertext can be seen as a form of "goal-oriented" dialogue, where the user asks for information through a set of predefined queries and the system answers by ensuring that the global communicative goal of the information process is achieved through a sequence of dialogue sections (hypermedia nodes). This is a planning problem, in which the system tries to develop a coherent dialogue with the user, based on assumptions in the user model that are refined through link selection. Therefore, planning has to be reactive in order to relate link selection to activation of a process that allows generating and executing a "relevant" plan for that particular interaction context. In this paper I briefly describe an approach to dynamic hypermedia planning where these issues are taken into account.
