Call for demos and posters

The Twentieth ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia


Torino, Italy, June 29 - July 1, 2009


Call for demo/poster session
----------------------------
The ACM Hypertext Conference is the main venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on "linking." Hypertext 2009 will be held from June 29th to July 1st 2009 at the Villa Gualino Convention Center, on the hills overlooking Torino, Italy.

Besides the traditional talks, Hypertext 2009 also provides the opportunity for technical demonstrations of novel tools and innovative applications related to one of the conference tracks (http://www.ht2009.org/tracks.php). Interested authors have two options for submitting their proposals. The first involves an early submission deadline, such that the abstract can be included in the proceedings. The second option has a later submission deadline, with the consequence that these cannot be included in the proceedings. For each demonstration, a table, electricity plugs and a display board for a poster, will be provided. Additional supporting equipment may be requested and will be provided where possible. Authors of accepted demos are also required to print, before their departure, an A2-size poster panel, that will be displayed in the demonstration site during the three days of the conference.

Submission option A
-------------------
(WITH inclusion in the proceedings)

Interested authors are asked to submit a 2-page abstract describing their work, and where needed a list of required supporting equipment. All submissions should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG proceedings template (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and submitted via EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=ht2009).

The review process will not be blind, therefore it is not necessary for submissions to be anonymized. Please be sure to submit keywords via EasyChair.

Please note that the timing of Hypertext 2009 provides an excellent opportunity to visit Italy in conjunction with the International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization in Trento (UMAP 2009 - http://umap09.fbk.eu/), and the International Workshop and Conference on Network Science in Venice (NetSci 2009 - http://www.netsci09.net/).
