Multimedia systems are based on the synchronization and co-ordination of data through media specific software and hardware so that data of a variety of media types enhance the overall impact of the presentation. Hypermedia applications include user-driven access mechanisms and links among such objects. New generations of hypermedia applications that exploit a larger range of multimedia types than are generally included in the multimedia class hierarchies are rapidly becoming available. In this paper we introduce two additional multimedia types, computational and directive, that depend on direct interaction with die user and increase the use of computing facilities within hypermedia presentations. The recognition of interactive media types provides fertile ground for new classes of hypermedia link type...","PeriodicalId":301199,"journal":{"name":"New Rev.

Since informal natural language has its disadvantages and immediate formal representation is very difficult, a mediating representation is needed. Therefore, we developed a novel approach to requirements engineering — with tool support — that is based on hypertext. We utilize hypertext primarily for semiformal representation, that can help to bridge the informality/formality gap between human and computer. We have applied our approach in real-world projects, and our experience suggests its usefulness. As a consequence, we recommend the use of hypertext for the specification of requirements in practice.","PeriodicalId":301199,"journal":{"name":"New Rev.

A huge and growing range of titles is available from high street computer, electrical goods and book shops. In an attempt to provide a compact set of evaluation criteria for these products, established methods in the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI), computer-assisted learning (CAL) and information retrieval are considered. The needs and desires of the home user are substantially different from those of the work place or education user. Observations from product use, and an interview study with home multimedia users, suggests that factors such as aesthetics, levels of interactivity and information content may be crucially important in user satisfaction. Factors such as interface clarity and consistency may be less important than in work place systems.","PeriodicalId":301199,"journal":{"name":"New Rev.

This kind of application does differ from traditional information delivery systems in allowing the user considerable freedom in making navigational decisions; users are able to determine, at least to some extent, the media-form of presentation and the order of material presented. However given this freedom, it is possible in some situations that learners might stray from the teacher's instructional objective and become overly engaged in unrelated browsing activities. This study investigates navigational behaviors made by college undergraduate music appreciation students who used a hypermedia program as a supplement to traditional instruction. Results indicated that students accessed these materials in strikingly different ways. While some users read the screens in linear fashion not viewing any multimedia nodes, others made many nonlinear jumps and ...","PeriodicalId":301199,"journal":{"name":"New Rev.

In this scheme, the underlying probabilities are estimated according to a history of past queries along with their relevance judgments. Having evolved over the last twenty years, these estimations allow us to take both document frequency and within-document frequency into account. In the current study, we suggest representing documents not only by index term vectors as proposed by previous probabilistic models but also by considering relevance hypertext links. These relationships, which provide additional evidence on document content, are established according to requests and relevance judgments, and may improve the ranking of the retrieved records, in a sequence most likely to fulfill user intent. Thus, to enhance retrieval effectiveness, our learning retrieval scheme should modify: (1) the weight assigned to e...","PeriodicalId":301199,"journal":{"name":"New Rev.

We next present the main ideas underlying the Object-Oriented Hypermedia Design Method (OOHDM). We show that Web applications are built as views of conceptual models. We next present the abstraction primitives we use to design the conceptual and navigational structure of Web applications and describe the view definition language.

In this paper we examine the questions that users asked after viewing a series of seven video clips and then classify them into three main categories: questions relating to perception difficulties; questions concerning lack of understanding due to some form of dissonance and questions requiring more content information. There are three benefits from analyzing these questions, which will enable designers to improve their designs. First, our approach provides a breakdown of die questions that users ask which can be used by designers to determine what kind of additional information should be made available. Second, it provides a user-centered way of determining where to make links. Third, it enables designers to detect usability and pedagogic problems early in the design of video-based hypermedia.","PeriodicalId":301199,"journal":{"name":"New Rev.
