A book edited by Dr. Sherry Y. Chen and Dr. George D. Magoulas, Brunel
University, UK
As
one of the most recent developments in information technology, hypermedia
systems have offered a significant contribution to the delivery of e-content
through the Internet. However, not all types of users have the capability to
develop navigation paths by themselves. Many studies have found that individual
differences had significant effects on information seeking in hypermedia
systems. Users with different characteristics and backgrounds need different
types of content and navigation support. Thus, adaptable and adaptive
hypermedia systems have emerged in the last decade. Research community in this
area is constantly expanding, and we have reached a point in time where
research works have mushroomed and matured. We need a self-contained book to
demonstrate the fruit of our research.
The
proposed book aims to provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art adaptable and adaptive hypermedia
approaches, covering both their theories and applications in areas such as
search engines, e-commerce, e-learning, and digital libraries. It will cover
many issues in the field, providing insight into analytical and architectural
aspects of adaptive web-based systems, as well as applications in real world
settings.
The book will be useful to professionals and
academic researchers working in various areas, such as customisation and
personalization, human-computer interaction, multimedia information systems,
web-based technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and
intelligent databases. Moreover, it will provide a source of reference and a
guide for students working on relevant projects.

Researchers and
practitioners are invited to send on or
before July 10, 2003, a
completed author form with a 600-800 word
manuscript proposal organized in sections as follows: aim, main methodology,
results, and significance of the contribution. Authors of accepted proposals
will be notified by August 1, 2003 about the status of their proposals and sent
chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted
by October
1, 2003. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a blind review
basis. The book is scheduled to be published by Idea Group, Inc., publisher of
the “Idea Group Publishing,” “Information Science Publishing,” and “IRM Press”
