Abstract:
Adaptive hypertexts and hypermedia are equipped with a dynamic navigation structure: the navigation choices proposed to the user are dynamically computed with respect to some characteristics of the user or with respect to her navigation path on the hypertext. We first advocate the need for computer science tools and theoretical tools for the conception, the analysis and the control of the structure. We then propose the definition of a structure specification language. We discuss hypertext literature and the conditional links specification language used in the Connection Muse framework.
