Soaring through hyperspace: A snapshot of Hyper-G and its Harmony client
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the current status of work on Hyper-G and its new viewer, Harmony. Hyper-G is a generalpurpose, large-scale, distributed hypermedia information system under development at Graz University of Technology. It is based on the client-server model across the Internet and is interoperable with both Gopher and World Wide Web. Harmony is the new native Hyper-G client for X Windows on Unix platforms. It takes advantage of Hyper-G's structuring and retrieval features to provide both intuitive navigational facilities and informative feedback about the location of information.

The explosive growth of information systems on the Internet has clearly demonstrated the need to organise, lter, and present information in ways which allow users to cope with the sheer quantities of information available. The scope for visualisation of Gopher and WWW spaces is restricted by the limitations of their respective data models. The far richer data model supported by the Hyper-G Inte...
متن کاملMORE ON EDGE HYPER WIENER INDEX OF GRAPHS
Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). The (first) edge-hyper Wiener index of the graph G is defined as: $$WW_{e}(G)=sum_{{f,g}subseteq E(G)}(d_{e}(f,g|G)+d_{e}^{2}(f,g|G))=frac{1}{2}sum_{fin E(G)}(d_{e}(f|G)+d^{2}_{e}(f|G)),$$ where de(f,g|G) denotes the distance between the edges f=xy and g=uv in E(G) and de(f|G)=∑g€(G)de(f,g|G). In thi...
