The Supermanual Interactive Electronic Technical Manual

Maintenance of increasingly complex technological systems is a critical and difficult challenge for defense, government and private sector organizations. The quantity and technical complexity of systems is constantly changing and expanding. Increasingly, personnel trained or experienced on one system must quickly switch to working on another. The overall goal of the SuperManual project is to design and prototype better ways to dynamically organize, present, and customize information for particular tasks and individual maintainer knowledge and levels of expertise. The SuperManual is a personally adaptive electronic maintenance manual (IETM) that is designed to permit personnel to rapidly locate and learn material from maintenance manuals.
