– Read also comments on the slides and additional reading
material (papers, etc.).
– Presence is optional, but beware: slides-only are NOT
ENOUGH to learn from for the exam; you need to
participate, take your own notes, self-study!

• Prerequisites
– None directly, but XML, XHTML, DB,
Programming, etc. skills are useful

Purpose of this course
• introduce you to advanced concept in
web-based systems, such as Adaptive
Hypermedia, Adaptive Web-based
systems, authoring of adaptive
Hypermedia, the Semantic Web and its
applications and the Social Web and its
applications.
