ACM Special Interest Group on Hypertext, Hypermedia and the Web Welcome
home
SIGWEB supports the multi-disciplinary field of hypertext and hypermedia, facilitating its application both on the World-Wide Web and also in independent, distributed and stand-alone environments. It provides a forum for the promotion, dissemination, and exchange of ideas concerning research and applications among scientists, systems designers and end-users.
In addition to the established Web and Hypertext themes, the SIG is actively exploring ideas at the intersection of hypermedia and Digital Libraries, Software Engineering and the Humanities.

HT09 Call for Participation

The Twentieth ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia
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 (NetSci009).
