Abstract: In this paper we present an adaptive hypermedia web-based system called TIM (TIMe-Aware Adaptive Hypermedia System). The time is used as a part of the context model, which along with a user model constitutes a base for the adaptation to the user needs. We have proposed an extension of known adaptation techniques by means of the notion of time. Proposed extensions are based on the model of time, which maps a real time to a symbolic time and provides necessary operations for working with both of them. TIM implements proposed adaptation techniques. Its domain model has been created to serve as a web-based adaptive e-board for a university course. The e-board system adapts presentation of the educational module administrative information according the user characteristics and the context represented by the time of information presentation.
