ABSTRACT

As the WWW moves from a web of documents to a web of interactive applications, hypertext organization and navigation tools such as bookmarks do not fully support user activities. I propose the concept of Web macros - parameterized, context-aware WWW navigation programs created by demonstration. Web macros can automate common tasks for their author, as well as be offered for public use with personalized parameters factored out and substituted. I am developing the model, requirements and technology for Web macros, and will investigate authoring by demonstration.
