Definition and application of rules for the adequate designing of XML documents for the hyper-automaton system

This work continues previous studies by Machado et al. (2000) and Paulo et al. (1998) seeking for a form of structuring and visualization of the content of courses available on the WWW from the usage of formal constructions known as deterministic finite automata with output. The study based on the Internet technological evolution suggests that the nowadays system incorporates the benefits of the modern document structuring, along with the necessities and technological benefits, as well as uses important resources arose from the markup languages which refer to the possibilities of formatting of the visually available content. The main goal of this work is to schematize and describe the rules according to a bibliographically supported and applied view. Such rules which, in a general meaning, are optionally part of an XML document, in the hyper-automaton system which we developed, will be indispensable and permanently integrating elements
