Hypertext and Society Programme
Eighteenth International ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia
Manchester, UK 10th - 12th September 2007

--------------------------------------
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.
