Peter Brusilovsky carried out two reviews of AdaptiveHypertext research, the first in 1996 and the second in 2001.

The meteoric rise of the WorldWideWeb has a clear effect on AdaptiveHypertext research between the publication of each review.

Brusilovsky uses 4 dimensions of classification to classify adaptive hypermedia methods and techniques:

AdaptiveHypertextApplicationAreas - where can adaptive hypermedia systems be helpful?
WhatToAdaptTo - what features of the user are used as a source of the adaptation?
WhatCanBeAdapted - what features of the system can be different for different users?
HowAdaptationCanHelp - what user problems can be solved?

Brusilovsky also provides a useful introduction to UserModellingInAdaptiveHypermedia
