Overview of the Research GroupAdaptive Hypertext Systems automatically determine the needs and interests of individual users to assist the browsing and information seeking tasks.Research into Adaptive Hypertext Systems is a multi-disciplinary activity crossing the domains of Information Retrieval, User Modeling, Intelligent Tutoring Systems, and Hypertext systems. Applications of interest are currently Personalised Web Portals, in which a user's interests are determined automatically, rather than by a user giving advance information about his or her interest, adaptive learning environments, and adaptive documents spaces. There is also scope for adaptive marketing on the Web, and adaptive information delivery, which automatically determines how information should be presented to users based on the type of IP device used to access the information and according to any physical disability of the user.
