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 navigation-oriented hypertext model based on statecharts
TL;DR: The HMBS (Hypertext Model Based on Statecharts) model uses the structure and execution semantics of statecharts to specify both the structural organization and the browsing semantics of a hyperdocument.

PageCluster: Mining conceptual link hierarchies from Web log files for adaptive Web site navigation
Jianhan Zhu,Jun Hong,John Hughes +2 more
TL;DR: A novel method to put Web pages on a Web site onto different conceptual levels in a link hierarchy using a clustering algorithm called PageCluster, which clusters conceptually-related pages on each conceptual level of the link hierarchy based on their in-link and out-link similarities.

Perceived disorientation and incidental learning in a Web-based environment: internal and external factors
TL;DR: There were no effects on disorientation for spatial-synthetic ability and sensation seeking tendency, and a moderately large effect size indicated the role of the nonlinear navigation mode in facilitating higher main point and example generation scores.

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.
