ACM HYPERTEXT 2020 – HT2020 FOR SOCIAL GOOD 31st ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media (HT’20) July 13-15 2020 | Orlando, Florida, USA ############# CALL FOR PAPERS ############# Twitter: @ACMHT – https://twitter.com/ACMHT Conference Site: http://ht.acm.org/ht2020 Hashtag: #ACMHT2020 Submit Online via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ht2020 ------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------ March 20 – Paper deadline March 27 – Papers assigned for review April 17 – Review deadline April 24 – Discussion deadline May 1 – Paper notifications May 22 – SIGWEB travel award deadline May 29th – Camera ready deadline ----------------------- CONFERENCE SCOPE ----------------------- The ACM Hypertext conference is a premium venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on hypertext theory, systems and applications. It is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research including social media, semantic web, dynamic and computed hypertext and hypermedia as well as narrative systems and applications. The theme of Hypertext 2020 is “HYPERTEXT for Social Good”. This motto of the 31st ACM Hypertext conference goes hand in hand with the growing importance of ensuring technological inventions and innovations have a positive impact on the users, as well as the society at large. We are particularly interested in work that is timely, activist, or community-centered. Hypertext 2019 turned some important stones to reunify different hypertext research directions and communities. Hypertext 2020 will proudly carry forward this aim. Hypertext 2020 will therefore consist of 4 different tracks that broadly appeal to interdisciplinary challenges. In addition to this, HT2020 will also host a Doctoral Consortium, and a Blue Sky Ideas track to facilitate the presentation and discussion of grand visions for the future of Hypertext systems. This is a perfect time to join in, reflect our common roots, and discuss how we can jointly address our current and future challenges. Hypertext 2020 is co-locating with the Electronic Literature Conference (ELO’20) organized in Orlando, Florida between July 13-15. The conference will take place at the downtown University of Central Florida campus, with hotel accommodations available next door to the conference venues. ----------------------- ORGANIZATION ----------------------- General Chairs: – Anastasia Salter, University of Central Florida (@AnaSalter – https://twitter.com/AnaSalter) – John Barber, Washington State University Program Chair: – Ujwal Gadiraju, Leibniz University of Hannover, DE (@UjLaw – https://twitter.com/ujlaw) Local Arrangements Chair: – Mel Stanfill, University of Central Florida (@melstanfill – https://twitter.com/melstanfill) Publicity Co-Chairs: – Bonnie Cross, University of Central Florida, USA (@bonniercross – https://twitter.com/bonniercross) – Sihang Qiu, Delft University of Technology, NL (@qiusihang – https://twitter.com/qiusihang) Web Chair: – Mike Shier, University of Central Florida, USA Proceedings Chair: – John Murray, University of Central Florida (@lucidbard https://twitter.com/lucidbard) ---------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION CATEGORIES AND DEADLINES ---------------------------------------------- Papers must report new results substantiated by experimentation, simulation, analysis, or application. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original, not previously published works. Art and creative work is also welcome as part of the exhibition/creative track. Submission categories include: SUBMISSION DEADLINE “REGULAR”: 13 March 2020 – Regular research papers (max 10 pages) discussing mature work. – Short papers (max 5 pages) describing preliminary results of on-going work or novel thought-provoking ideas – Doctoral consortium submissions (max 4 pages + CV) describing the work of the graduate student and a CV in order to provide some background information about the graduate student SUBMISSION DEADLINE “LATE BREAKING/DEMOS/EXHIBITION”: 13 April 2019 – Late breaking (max 2 pages, presented as poster) presenting innovative research ideas, or preliminary results. – Demos (max 2 pages) presenting system prototypes or industry showcases. – Exhibition or creative track submissions (max 2 pages) describing the proposed exhibition or creative work. Creative work is particularly encouraged to be web-based and engage with the theme of “Changing Climates,” a call to engage the impact of hypertext and the responsibility of web creators and researchers in a time of climate change. Participants are welcome to submit creative work in absentia if coming from a country that currently makes travel unfeasible, in consultation with the chairs. Accepted submissions will appear in the Hypertext 2020 Conference Proceedings that will be published by ACM via the ACM Digital Library. Submissions should follow the ACM SIGCONF version of the master template and be anonymized for peer review. ---------------------------------------------- CONFERENCE MAIN TRACKS ---------------------------------------------- ### Hypertext Infrastructures and User Interfaces ### * Hypertext structure domains (e.g., node-link structures, spatial hypertext, taxonomic hypertext, argumentation structures) * Interaction devices used in combination with hypertext systems (e.g., VR glasses, smart whiteboards, mobile devices) * Interacting with hypertext * Visual analytics and hypertext * Data visualization and navigation * Conversational User Interfaces * Social Media Systems and Tools ### Hypertext Literature, Games, and Digital Humanities ### * Hyperfiction and storytelling * Gaming and gamification * Automated analysis of narratives * Automated story or (semantic) link generation * Hypertext and digital humanities * Digital journalism and citizen/collaborative news * Electronic literature * Hypermedia authoring * Interactive fiction and storytelling * Intelligent narratives * Theory of hypertext narratives * Hypertext and communication theory ### Web and Society ### * Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, Ethics in Web Search * Security, Privacy, & Trust * Bias in Web Search * Search as Learning * Computational Social Science * Human Computation & Crowdsourcing * Urban Data Science * Smart Cities * Health and Well-being Online * Affective Computing & Personal Health * Humanities, Arts, & Culture on the Web * Behavioral Monitoring & Change * Web Mining & Content Analysis ### Social Media Analysis & Recommender Systems ### * User Modeling & Personalization * Social Network Analysis * Credibility of Social Media Content * Opinion Mining * Bias, Filter Bubbles and Ethics of Personalized Services * Personalization and Recommendation for Social Good * Explainable Methods for Recommender Systems * Explainable Methods for Personalization * User Experience & Engagement * Preference Elicitation * Algorithmic Scalability & Performance * Conversational Recommender Systems ----------------------- BLUE SKY IDEAS TRACK ----------------------- The emphasis of this track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, and new research opportunities. This track is designed to overcome the constraints of the traditional review process, and will serve as an incubator for innovative approaches, risky and provocative ideas, and to propose challenges and opportunities in the near future. Submissions to this track are limited to a maximum of 4 pages. ----------------------- DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM ----------------------- PhD students (or in specific cases Master students) are encouraged to submit their ongoing research related to the broad scope of HT 2020. The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide PhD students at different stages of their candidature, with an adequate platform to showcase their research, goals and receive feedback on their ongoing research. Students can use this opportunity within a dedicated session at the HT 2020 conference, to receive guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and other PhD students working in research areas related to the broad scope of HT 2020. _______________________________________________ RuleML-all mailing list RuleML-all@ruleml.org http://ruleml.org/mailman/listinfo/ruleml-all_ruleml.org
