| Abstract: | In this paper we study the integration of Model Management and Hypertext
systems to produce a Hyper Model Management System (HMMS). Model
Management Systems constitute a class of software that is designed to
support the construction, storage, retrieval, and use of models in the
context of decision support systems (DSS). Hypertext systems allow users
to split information into data fragments which the user cart browse to
find information by taking non-linear paths in computer based texts. It
has been suggested that DSSs should be conceived as environments which
support decision making. We support the view that such environments can
be readily provided for the subtask of model management by hypertext
systems. The different kinds of model knowledge can be captured within
different types of hypertext nodes and the relationships among these can
be maintained by hypertext links. In this paper we describe some aspects
of model management where hypertext will have a significant impact.
However, plain hypertext is ineffective in dealing with the dynamic
nature of information in model management tasks where data is revised,
models executed, and reports are created on the fly. Dynamic domains
require dynamic hypertexts. In this paper we also study the requirements
for dynamic hypertexts. These can be satisfied within the class of
generalized hypertext systems by using special hypertext nodes and links
which we describe. We explore different architectures to integrate MMS
and Hypertext systems to obtain HMMSs. This paper emphasizes the need
for a shift to integrating Model Management and hypertext technologies. |
