HYPERTEXT 2009 - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The Twentieth ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia
http://www.ht2009.org/
Torino, Italy, June 29th - July 1st, 2009

Sponsored by: ACM, SIGWEB, TAGora, Institute for Scientific Interchange Foundation, University of Torino

EARLY-BIRD REGISTRATION CLOSES ON MAY 15 ***

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.

The 2009 edition of Hypertext enjoyed a 70% increase in submissions from the
previous year, yielding a selective yet broad and exciting technical program.

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/).

STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION

(http://www.acm.org/src/) sponsored by Microsoft Research. Students
selected to attend the ACM Student Research Competition will demonstrate
their work during the poster session. For more information, please visit

REAL TIME SOCIAL NETWORKING

The attendees of Hypertext 2009 will 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 run a data collection platform
tracking the real-time relations of physical proximity between the attendees.
The data collection and visualization systems will be provided by the
SocioPatterns.org project 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.

We look forward to welcoming you in Torino, Italy!
