Hypertext 2008

June 19-21, 2008 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

In 2007, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia series which is the acknowledged venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on linking. The web, the semantic web and Web 2.0 are all manifestations of the success of the link. The Hypertext Conference provides the forum for research that considers links, their semantics, their presentation, the applications they have been put to, the knowledge that can be derived from their analysis and their effect on society. If information is connected, then the connection is called a link: the Hypertext Conference is concerned with all research concerning links.

Hypertext 2008 will be an exciting and intellectually stimulating conference. The event will feature more than 30 papers, posters, demos, and workshops focusing on key conference themes:

Our keynote speakers will examine leading edge subjects in the linkage field.  Make sure to attend the keynote presentations by Bernardo Huberman of HP Labs and Prof. Jon Kleinberg of Cornell University. For more information about the sessions, please visit our schedule

Take time to enjoy more than just the academic sessions. Join us for receptions, dinners, and social outings to see the Pittsburgh Symphony Pops featuring world-renown trumpeter Chris Botti.  For more details about potential social events, please click here.
