| Extending User-Interface Toolkits with Hypermedia Functionality describes
a technique for providing a default level of hypermedia services to user-interface
toolkit applications. In a nutshell, the technique makes a user-interface
toolkit a client of an open hypermedia system. This results in hypermedia-aware
widgets which provide users access to hypermedia functionality within the
application. This paper was presented at the 30th Hawaii International Conference
on System Sciences in Wailea on the island of Maui, Hawaii on January 8,
1997. |

| Integrating Open Hypermedia Systems with the World Wide Web describes
our work in exploring the benefits of WWW protocols within the context of
Chimera. It is the first paper to discuss aspects of Chimera 2.0. While
not a complete description, it highlights the issues which lead to the development
of Chimera 2.0. It also includes a useful taxonomy of related work performed
in the area of OHS-WWW integration. This paper will be presented at the
Hypertext'97 conference in Southampton, UK, on April 10, 1997. |

| An Architectural Model for Application Integration in Open Hypermedia
Environments presents a framework for modeling third-party application
integrations with open hypermedia systems. The framework can characterize
applications prior to integration and can supply guidance for selecting
a final integration architecture. This paper will be presented at the Hypertext'97
conference in Southampton, UK, on April 9, 1997. |
