Seventeenth International ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia
Tools for Supporting Social Structures
23-25 August; Odense, Denmark
http://www.ht06.org/

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -

Hypertext and hypermedia are technologies for supporting structured
knowledge work. The Seventeenth International ACM Conference on
Hypertext and Hypermedia: Tools for Supporting Social Structures (HT
2006) will focus specifically on tools that help us represent, model
and interact with social structures, including cultural, literary,
linguistic, and other types of social structures.

Recently, in fields ranging from anthropology to linguistics, there
has been an increasing focus on representing complex social phenomena
using networks or other structure-intensive models. HT 2006 will
bring together social scientists with hypertext and hypermedia
researchers who specialize in building tools to build, manipulate,
and manage structure-intensive models.

TOPICS
------
The special focus of HT 2006 means we especially encourage papers on
structure-intensive problems and models used in social sciences, as
well as papers describing possible implementation strategies and/or
issues for supporting hypermedia.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* social networks and networking * novel systems and models
* societal impact of Web technologies * hypermedia application design
* virtual communities * hypermedia systems evaluation
* hypermedia in education * blogs, wikis, and rss
* literary and artistic hypermedia * web engineering
* network/stratificational grammars * hypermedia service definitions
