BOF: Tinderbox
Time: 14:00 to 15:30
Location: Conference Room
Chair: Mark Bernstein
Notes: Tinderbox, a constructive hypertext system marketed by Eastgate Systems, offers researchers several interesting opportunities. This BOF session seeks to provide a venue for informal exploration of affordances and collaborations in several areas. Tinderbox provides a simple, flexible spatial hypertext environment with strong HTML and XML export facilities. Thus, Tinderbox can serve as a convenient front end for a variety of experiments in knowledge representation and the semantic Web. Tinderbox is widely employed by individuals and groups to do real work. Some aspects of Tinderbox - prototype inheritance and spatial hypertext among them -- have not been widely studied beyond the context of computer science. User studies might reveal interesting information about information ecologies and representational strategies in feral hypertext. Tinderbox offers interesting hooks to extend its agents, actions, and export mechanisms through external processes. Tinderbox is designed to allow additional extensions to be added with relative ease. Applications to research range from instrumented Tinderbox variants to embedded Tinderbox and novel Tinderbox export environments.

BOF: Web Science
Time: 17:00 to 18:30
Location: Conference Room
Chair: Jim Whitehead
Notes: Web Science is a research agenda focused on understanding how decentralised information structures and informal and unplanned informational links between people, agents, databases, organisations and other actors and resources can meet the informational needs of important drivers such as e-science and e-government. How an essentially decentralised system can have such performance designed into it is the key question of Web Science. The BOF will gather people interested in learning more about Web Science, and in discussing the implications of this agenda.
Conference Dinner
Time: 19:30 to 21:30
Location: Christie's Bistro
Notes: The conference dinner will be held at Christie's Bistro. The Bistro is located within The Old Quadrangle, which is part of Whitworth Hall at The University of Manchester. Christie's housed the old library of the University, but has since been converted into an elegant restaurant. Delegates will be served dinner in the ambient and inspiring oak-panelled surroundings of the old library and under the watchful eyes of the portraits and busts of previous Chancellor's of the university. Christies are able to accommodate special dietary requirements (eg vegetarian) during the dinner. Please indicate on the Conference Registration form if you require any meal considerations.

Mark Bernstein
Notes: When the Coalition Provisional Authority took power in Iraq in 2002, advisors and operatives arrived in the Green Zone with ambitious plans to overhaul Iraqi institutions and society. Efforts ranging from the Baghdad stock exchange to its traffic laws, from university curriculum design to electric power distribution, were frequently based on sketchy PowerPoint decks and aspirational goals. At the heart of the failures lay a distrust of the codex book engendered by the late age of print: a fear that comprehensive analysis is either impossible or leads to policy paralysis, and a belief that the contingency of truth means that a policy can be achieved by proclaiming its success. New technology and new understanding suggest that this failure need not be repeated. Developments in hypertext, weblogs and wikis, and in knowledge representation tools - all available to personal computer users - offer new tools for analysis and planning in response to our complex and pressing challenges. Mark Bernstein is chief scientist at Eastgate Systems, Inc. in Boston. He is the designer of Tinderbox, an innovative personal content management assistant for making, analyzing, and sharing notes. At Eastgate, he has overseen hypertext tools, including Storyspace, and the publication of important literary hypertexts that have come to define the first generation of electronic literature. A graduate of Swarthmore College, he received his Ph.D. from Harvard University. This event has been organised in conjunction with the 18th ACM Hypertext Conference 2007 in Manchester.
