A promising application for broadband ISDN: Hypermedia teleconference

The optimum BISDN teleconference service for business, called hypermedia teleconference, is designed based on research into typical business activities and ATM, the most promising BISDN architecture. Service characteristics are determined by analysing the daily work practices of a large set of businessmen. It is shown that communication tasks occupy 44 per cent of the working day. The analysis further shows that some 60 per cent of all communication tasks could be performed through an advanced digital teleconference service. Hypermedia teleconference is designed to satisfy the needs of business through personal communication terminals and ATM public networks. The terminals effectively allocate the BISDN's high-speed transmission capability between a number of subchannels that realize distributed multipoint connection links and multimedia paths. The terminals use a new variable-bit-rate ATM codec created to realize high quality video. Users can easily create full featured teleconferences without a centralized connection facility. Terminals allow the synergistic combination of video, voice, telewriting, telepointing and document transmission services.

Using a cooperative hypermedia editing tool to enhance group communication and productivity

Cooperative hypermedia means producting and manipulating hyperorganized multimedia data by a group of (co-)users. We have been realizing a prototype that enables coauthors to cooperatively produce hypermedia documents. It allows coauthors to communicate their ideas, drafts, guidelines, and constraints within a group in order to exchange information (remotely or face-to-face) and improve the final document.When analyzing the transition from individual work to group work within different human activities, two pitfalls are often detected if computer support is considered. On the one hand are the social and technological communication problems, particularly if members of the group are geographically distant from one another. On the other hand are the productivity falls, which are usually due to communication difficulties and frequent social inadequacies of the group's computer support. We would like to propose the use of this prototype — CoMEdiA — as a way to enhance, or prevent the fall of, intra-group communication and the outcomes of group edit tasks (constrained to the kind of taks for which it has been designed). Most of the techniques used to achieve this can be used in other tools to support other specific type of group activities.     

智能辅助教学写作环境CourseTalk的设计与实现

本文介绍了一个智能辅助教学写作环境CourseTalk的设计与实现.在这个环境中使用了综合媒体结构(Hypermedia)、Prolog和黑板结构等技术,以及推理与查询相结合的搜索策略,并提出一种通过编辑直接定义关系数据以及可以用Prolog语言方便地描述教学策略的方法.同时还讨论了有关知识获取、教学策略选择和学生模型等问题.     

基于HyTime的超媒体文档系统研究

超媒体文档系统不仅要求支持离散媒体（例如文本和静止图象）和连续媒体（例如声音和视频）等信息。而且要描述不同媒体之间的同步关系。为实现这样的超媒体文档系统,采用ＳＧＭＬ和ＨｙＴｉｍｅ文档标准来描述各种单一媒体之间的时空关系,主要讨论基于ＳＧＭＬ和ＨｙＴｉｍｅ标准的超本文档系统的实现问题。     

Technology adoption as process: A case of integrating an information-intensive website into a patient education helpline

This study followed the introduction of the Arthritis Source website into the existing teaching practices of Arthritis Foundation Helpline volunteers. The goal was to examine what factors may affect a particular group of educators adopt a potentially valuable Internet tool into an existing instructional environment. Defining the possible uses of the website in reference to the volunteers' actual job duties helped provide a clearer understanding of how the volunteers might use this new technology. The researchers used qualitative techniques to focus on three volunteers who experienced different physical, environmental and cognitive means that impacted their use of the new tool. Each volunteer experienced varying levels of motivation in areas of learning, satisfaction and responses to outside influences. Each volunteer also had varying amounts of opportunity prompts in which to interact or refer the website. Consequently, Helpline volunteers experienced different rates of adopting the information-intensive website into their traditional work system.     

WWW环境下超媒体协同创作系统的设计

1 引言大型文献的创作是一种涉及到总编、美术、策划以及多个作者之间的协作活动,超媒体技术的出现为大型文献创作者提供了一种新的创作方式,能够很好地支持这种协作活动。常规文献是连续的线性结构,文献在组织结构上没有划分手段,因此协同写作时难以进行分工。超媒体文献的离散化节点和超链组织有利于多人协作时任务的划分,多成员可在分布环境下分担完成文献中的不同部分,通过超链可将各部分链接起来,保持整个文献的完整性。对于读者,超文本技术允许有选择地阅读其中感兴趣的部分,而忽略其他部
