Second CALL FOR PAPERS

TRACK 3: HYPERTEXT AND COMMUNITY



Hypertext 2009

The Twenty-First ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia



http://www.ht2009.org/



June 29th - July 1st, 2009, Torino, Italy





SCOPE

-----



The ACM Hypertext Conference is the main venue for high quality

peer-reviewed research on "linking." The Web, the Semantic Web, the

Web 2.0, and Social Networks are all manifestations of the success of

the link. The Hypertext Conference provides the forum for all research

concerning links: their semantics, their presentation, the

applications, as well as the knowledge that can be derived from their

analysis and their effects on society.



Hypertext 2008, held in Pittsburgh, was a real success. The number of

submissions and attendees was up, a successful Student Research

Competition took place, and a rejuvenated social linking track added

new ideas and connections to the traditional core of the conference.



IMPORTANT DATES

---------------



* Technical tracks paper submission deadline: February 2nd, 2009

* Notification to authors: March 16th, 2009

* Camera-ready (final papers to ACM): April 6th, 2009



LOCATION AND DATES

------------------



Hypertext 2009 will be held from June 29th to July 1st at the Villa

Gualino Convention Center, on the hills overlooking Torino.



The capital of the Piedmont region, Torino lies at the foot of the

Alps, the majestic mountains that hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics.

First the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, then one of the European

centers of baroque, today Torino is a dynamic city known for its

industry, art and culture, sports, research and education, and

cuisine.



The timing of Hypertext 2009 provides an excellent opportunity to

visit Italy in conjunction with the International Conference on User

Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization in Trento (UMAP 2009 -

http://umap09.fbk.eu/), and the International Workshop and Conference

on Network Science in Venice (NetSci 2009 - http://www.netsci09.net/).



PROGRAM

-------



Hypertext 2009 will feature two stellar keynote speakers: Lada Adamic

(University of Michigan) is a noted scholar of social networking and

the winner of the 2008 Engelbart Award; Ricardo Baeza-Yates is

Vice-President of Yahoo! Research for Europe and Latin America,

leading the labs in Spain, Chile, and Israel.



In the conference technical program, professionals from academia,

industry, and the media will present innovative ideas and tools

exploiting the broad range of links increasingly connecting people,

information, communities, and structures. Research topics will be

organized into three tracks:



track 1. Information Structure and Presentation (Chairs: Peter

Brusilovsky and Cristina Gena)

track 2. People, Resources, and Annotations (Chairs: Andreas Hotho and

Vittorio Loreto)

track 3. Hypertext and Community (Chairs: Mark Bernstein and Antonio Pizzo)





TRACK 3: HYPERTEXT AND COMMUNITY

--------------------------------



Chairs:

* Mark Bernstein, Eastgate Systems, Inc. (UK)

* Antonio Pizzo, University of Torino (Italy)



The Hypertext and Community track will explore, examine, and reflect

upon social cyberculture in electronic media, ranging from literary

fiction and creative scholarship to blog and microblog networks,

social sites, games, auctions, and markets. Topics will include:



 * Hypertext literature

 * Theory and practice of expression in wikis, weblogs, and social spaces

 * Personal journals, weblogs, and social media

 * Net art, literary hypertext, interactive fiction, and games

 * Behavioral patterns of social linking

*sociopatterns blurb*



The attendees of Hypertext 2009 will also have a chance to experiment

with applications mixing real-world data and on-line data. We will

deploy active RFID tags in the badges of volunteers and we will run a

data collection platform that provides the real-time relations of

physical proximity between the attendees. The data collection and

visualization systems will be provided by the SocioPatterns project

(http://www.sociopatterns.org), and will expose API methods that allow

developers to mash up real-world links between the attendees with other

types of linking information from the Web.
