TLDR
A survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment.Abstract:
This article is a survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design. It is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and, at a deeper cut, a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment. The concept of hypertext is quite simple: Windows on the screen are associated with objects in a database, and links are provided between these objects, both graphically (as labelled tokens) and in the database (as pointers). But this simple idea is creating much excitement. Several universities have created laboratories for research on hypertext, many articles have been written about the concept just within the last year, and the Smithsonian Institute has created a demonstration laboratory to develop and display hypertext technologies.read more

FEC-based loss recovery for interactive video transmission
Injong Rhee,S.R. Joshi +1 more
TL;DR: Both simulation and Internet experiments indicate that the proposed FEC technique effectively alleviates the error spread problem and is able to sustain much better video quality than H.261 or other conventional FEC schemes under various packet loss rates.

Fishing for clarity in hyperdocuments with enhanced fisheye-views
Klaus Tochtermann,G. Dittrich +1 more
TL;DR: An enhancement of Furnas’ function to allow its application in hyperdoeuments of that kind is proposed and the benefits of the fisheye-view concept can now be appreciated in ,,unstructured” hyperdocuments.
