Personalized Guided Routes in an Adaptive Evolutionary Hypermedia System

In this paper we describe an adaptation method for adaptive hypermedia systems, consisting in personalized guided routes for the SEM-HP model. SEM-HP is a layered, systemic, semantic and evolutionary model for the development of adaptive hypermedia systems, which adapt to the particular features and interests of each user. For evolution it uses a Metasystem, which offers to the author a set of evolutionary actions that permit the hypermedia system to evolve in a flexible and consistent way. In SEM-HP a hypermedia system is composed by four subsystems, each of which offers a different functionality to the user and to other subsystems. User adaptation is carried out by the learning subsystem, which keeps and updates an user model, which includes the user knowledge about the informational elements offered by the system, his preferences and his goal, which is to reach a certain degree of knowledge. Guided routes direct the user through the hypermedia system, so the user goal can be reached...
