Abstract

In this paper we describe issues of mutual interest and mutual benefit to researchers at the intersection of hypertext and software development environments. On one hand, the domain of software development appears to be a natural candidate for applying hypertext. Hypertext and hypermedia capabilities may be used in the creation, manipulation, examination and evolution of software products. On the other hand, software engineering principles and practices may be used to improve the quality and productivity of hypertext-system development. In particular, software development environments may facilitate the provision of hypertext capabilities for those environments, that would have otherwise required substantial development efforts.
