Hypertext and Society
We are interested in research that explores developments in Hypertext and innovative technologies where the defining feature is the existence of communities of users. We seek papers that explore applications, implementations, implications and evaluation, and necessary models and standards for such systems, including:
- Mapping and Visualisation of social spaces and networks
- Blogs and alternative Blog forms (podcasting, photologs etc.)
- Collaborative working
- Wikis
- Forums
- Semantic wikis
- Folksonomy, tagging, annotation and metadata
- Recommender systems
- Social networks and communities of practice
- Social software for learning
- Citation networks
- Virtual presence, identity and trust
- Multi-user Games
We are also seeking papers that explore the implementation and impact of such systems user communities such as:
- Governments
- Developing regions
- Virtual organisations
- E-commerce
- Education
- Health care
We understand the term hypertext in the broadest sense encompassing a board range of multimedia applications.
