The research area of adaptive hypermedia originates from the coming together of the areas of hypertext and hypermedia, user modeling and Web-based information systems, all of which have embraced the topic of adaptation.
Under different names workshops have been organized, mainly at the world Wide Web Conference (1999), the user Modeling Conference (1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001) and the ACM Hypertext Conference (1997, 1998, 2001). The Workshop on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-Based Systems provides a forum for researchers to discuss their on-going work, in preparation of the next Adaptive Hypermedia Conference in 2004.
At the AH2003 workshop paper presentations are combined with discussions on the presented topics. The presentations are explicitly intended to provoke discussions. The papers included in the workshop are not finished research papers, but papers that present research challenges and directions. The papers at this workshop have been selected by a program committee consisting of leading adaptive hypermedia researchers.
The entire proceedings with page numbers are available as one large pdf file.
