Multimedia intelligent documentation

Abstract

The fint efforts at putting tdmical documentation online did nothing more than replicate the book model online. Subsequent attempts with greater rescmnxs and imagination added passive reading tools such as graphical browsers, fisheye views and adaptive indexes. Reading paper d ocuments de mands that the reader adapt to the level of information presented, too little detail IW@ms another text to be consulted, too much information requirea the reader to skim. A better solution is for the document to adapt to the reader by applying/borrowing technology from artificial intelligence and intelligent tutoring systems [1]. Two systems that incorporate Permission to copy without fee alt or part of this material is granted provided that the copies are not made ordistributedfor directcommeraal advantage,theACM copyrightnoticeand the title of the publication and its date appear, and notice is given that copyingia bypermkaion of the Aaaixiation fcrComputing Machinery.

Survey of computer-supported collaboration in support of business processes

“…Metadoc (Boyle and Feh, 1993) attempted to vary the content and the details of information presented to a reader, according to the reader's ability and the requirements. IBM's Lotus Notes (Logrippo et al, 1992) is one of the most outstanding works for generating multimedia documents.…”

Modelo para la gestión de dominios de contenido en sistemas hipermedia adaptativos aplicados a entornos de educación superior semipresencial

“…Se realizaron investigaciones sobre el problema de la ineficacia de la navegación, el problema de perderse navegando, y los relacionados con la presentación. Se propusieron ideas para técnicas en la navegación adaptativa: guía directa, ordenamiento, ocultamiento y anotaciones (Böcker et al 1990;Brusilovsky et al 1993;de La Passardiere y Dufresne 1992;Kaplan, et al 1993) y la presentación de adaptación (Beaumont 1994;Böcker et al 1990;Boyle y Encarnación 1994;Boyle y Teh 1993;Brusilovsky 1996).…”
