Development Process and Evaluation Methods for Adaptive Hypermedia

Abstract

Adaptive Hypermedia address the fact that each individual user has different preferences and expectations. Hypermedia need adaptive features to provide an improved user experience. This requirement results in an increased complexity of the development process and evaluation methodology. In this article, we first discuss development methodologies used for hypermedia development in general and especially for user-adaptive hypermedia development. Second, we discuss evaluation methodologies that constitute a very important part of the development process. Finally, we propose a customized development process supported by ASF, a special framework designed to build Adaptive Hypermedia Systems.
