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

A survey of CSCW systems
TL;DR: A framework for characterising and describing CSCW systems is presented and four major classes of cooperative system identified.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Design rationale: the argument behind the artifact
TL;DR: It is asserted that the product of user interface design should be not only the interface itself but also a rationale for why the interface is the way it is, and a representation for design based around a semi-formal notation is described.

The Craft of Information Visualization: Readings and Reflections
TL;DR: This book collects 38 of the key papers on information visualization from a leading and prominent research lab, the University of Maryland's Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL), and provides an "insider" view to the scientific process and evolution of innovation as told by the researchers themselves.

Lost in hyperspace: metrics and mental models
Malcolm Otter,Hilary Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Suggestions are made for the design of more effective hypertext systems that minimise lostness, and a new approach to designing such systems, based on the mental models of users, is put forward.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive hypertext navigation based on user goals and context
TL;DR: The simple models underlying HYPERFLEX's performance may offer a general and useful alternative to more sophisticated modelling techniques and conditions under which these models, and similar adaptation techniques, might be most useful are discussed.

Dilemmas in a general theory of planning
TL;DR: The search for scientific bases for confronting problems of social policy is bound to fail, becuase of the nature of these problems as discussed by the authors, whereas science has developed to deal with tame problems.

Intelligent information-sharing systems
TL;DR: The Information Lens system is a prototype intelligent information-sharing system that is designed to include not only good user interfaces for supporting the problem-solving activity of individuals, but also good organizational interfaces for support the problem -solving activities of groups.
