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

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 from matched past cases and systematically amalgamating them to realize a component-based personalized hypermedia document.
