Designing Interactive Hypermedia Systems

The design and development of hypermedia systems is a complex process. It demands to take into account: the types of information, supported media, distributing/using environments, type of end-users, kinds of tasks, social contexts, practices and usages it modifies. This book aims at exploring and illustrating the different ways in which hypermedia systems and tools are designed according to those aspects. The design and visualization schemes included in any system will be related to the variety of social and technical complexities confronted by researchers in social, communication, humanities, art and design.
