HyperIntelligence: the next frontier

ABSTRACT

The authors discuss how mental models may be used to organize an individual's thoughts while forming a plan. A hypermedia system, SPRINT, is described which supports an explicit representation of a mental model as a network of associations among the elements of a strategic plan.
