Some things to know about me:

·  Some general information about myself ( printable CV), my (ftp) articles , my hobbies

·  Present research at TU/e:

• the ADAPT Minerva project
• adaptive authoring of adaptive hypermedia:
• new!!: MOT online (My Online Teacher; pronounced 'moh', like the French word for 'word;); download current version here or here
• papers here ; in more details:
• theoretical framework: the semantic layers: LAOS (WWW'03 paper); the adaptation layers (including adaptation language definition): LAG (UM'03 paper)
• implementation papers: first (educational) MOT paper (ITCC'03) ; MOT automatic linking paper (ITC'03)
• MOT evaluation papers: URD evaluation (CATE'03) ;
• I'm starting to get involved in the AHA system
• current download version here
• some reference papers on previous versions of AHA: 2000 (1) ; 2000 (2) ; 2000 (3) ; 1998 (1) ; 1998 (2) ;
• the AHA system is loosely based on the AHAM reference model for adaptive hypermedia (see also newer version '99 )
• the new AHA developments are towards generic (i.e., application independent) and open (i.e., allowing external information sources) adaptive functionality; also, richer UM should be allowed (for this, the W3C standard on RDF will be used)
• other separate User Modelling (UM), Distance Education & Learning research:
• a presentation at TUE on this subject ( Concept Mapping - based, Collaborative Distance Authoring)
• Directory for articles on this subject; the system parts can be found at:
• coming: My English Teacher (under construction..);
• My English Teacher: Teachers Site(also: under construction..);
• new!!: MyET new;

·  PhD thesis ( I did my thesis in Japan, at the University of Electro-Communications in Toyko, Graduate School of Information Systems Laboratory of AI & Knowledge Computing, under the supervision of professor Toshio Okamoto. You may find my old homepage here and a copy of it here ):

• Subsymbolic Knowledge Extraction Environment for a Time-Series prediction parallel Neural Network (this is some condensed info about my thesis)
