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

KBRA: A new paradigm for requirements engineering
A.J. Czuchry,D.R. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: The authors describe artificial intelligence techniques used to provide consistent reasoning processes for the intelligent assistant: inheritance of properties from generic object types, automatic classification based on discriminators indicating how to specialize instances, and constraint propagation for processing ramifications of requirements decisions and for supporting retraction when people change their minds.
