Abstract. We propose that the Case Based Reasoning (CBR) paradigm
offers an interesting alternative to developing adaptive hypermedia systems,
such that the inherent analogy-based reasoning strategy can inductively yield
a `representative' user model and the case adaptation techniques can be used
for dynamic adaptive personalization of generic hypermedia-based
information content. User modeling is achieved by applying CBR retrieval
techniques to collect a set of similar past cases, which are used to form a
global user-model. Adaptive personalization is accomplished by a
compositional adaptation technique that dynamically authors a personalized
hypermedia document--a composite of multiple fine-grained information
`snippets'--by selectively collecting the most relevant information items
