Folks,
I know I am getting this out late. This year ACM Hypertext is having a
closer look at wikis, especially things like semantic wikis and
collaborative writing which I know are research interests here.
As a bonus, it will be in the UK this year, which may be more convenient for
some than other wiki symposiums (Taiwan, Montreal).
Best,
Sunir

Hypertext and Society Programme
Eighteenth International ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia

--------------------------------------
ACM Hypertext 2007 consists of five autonomous programmes under a single
unified conference. The Hypertext and Society programme aims to explore
developments in Hypertext and innovative technologies where the defining
feature is the existence of communities of users.
It is our hope that the Hypertext and Society Programme will offer a high
quality venue for this exciting new area.
TOPICS
------
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 wide
range of multimedia applications.
