A fuzzy-based approach to stereotype selection in hypermedia
This paper presents a stereotype-based user model for adaptive hypermedia systems. We use a suitable algebraic fuzzy structure which can adequately reflect some features of the user in the model, and apply this model to adapt the navigation and the content of hypermedia nodes to the user's needs. The model includes temporal representations of the user and approximates every real user by a set of stereotypes, from which the one realizing the best approximation earn always be extracted. The set of stereotypes is the support set of the structure and the operations defined therein may be supplied with adequate semantics which allow for the selection of the stereotype.
