ACM
Conference on Hypertext
and Hypermedia |
Hypertext and
hypermedia are technologies
for supporting structured
knowledge work. The
Seventeenth International
ACM Conference on Hypertext
and Hypermedia: Tools for
Supporting Social Structures
(HT 2006) will focus
specifically on tools that
help us represent, model and
interact with social
structures, including
cultural, literary,
linguistic, and other types
of social structures.
Recently, in fields ranging
from anthropology to
linguistics, there has been
an increasing focus on
representing complex social
phenomena using networks or
other structure-intensive
models. HT 2006 will bring
together social scientists
with hypertext and
hypermedia researchers who
specialize in building tools
to build, manipulate, and
manage structure-intensive
models.
The conference will
take place in the Radisson
SAS H.C. Andersen Hotel in
Odense, Denmark. The hotel
is located within the
central part of Odense, with
easy access to several
tourist attractions and the
historic pedestrian walking
areas of the old city. The
conference hotel has
extended our attendees a
special nightly rate of 850
DKK, which includes
breakfast and free wireless
internet access. Odense,
birthplace of legendary
storyteller H.C. Andersen,
is one of the most beautiful
cities in Denmark. With its
nearly 200,000 inhabitants,
it is Denmark's third
largest city. Located in the
middle of the country,
Odense is easily reachable
by air, rail, and car.

Hypertext Conference Topics
The special focus of HT 2006 means we especially encourage papers on structure-intensive problems and models used in social sciences, as well as papers describing possible implementation strategies and/or issues for supporting hypermedia. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- social networks and networking
- societal impact of Web technologies
- virtual communities
- hypermedia in education
- literary and artistic hypermedia
