CyberFlats 2001 Workshop August 19 Aarhus University, Aarhus Denmark August 20-22 Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark
WHAT WE ARE DOING
We are looking for a few electronic media writers, artists, and developers to work together with hypermedia system developers to share
ideas and solve specific problems. If you would like to collaborate with an exciting, bleeding edge group, please provide a proposal outlining a specific project (a narrow, focused problem to solve) or offering your interests and insights to use a developer's system and ideas.
CyberFlats will be a chance for hypermedia system developers and artists and writers to work together to provide development tools to address hypermedia system needs. A maximum of 10 writers and10 system developers will gather for a one day meeting August 19 right after Hypertext 2001 at Aarhus University to discuss projects, collaboration, and electronic media and hypermedia issues. Developers
and artists and writers will work in small groups together for 2 -3 days (August 20 - 22) at Aalborg University in Esbjerg, Denmark.
Please submit a description of your work and your goals for working together by June 10. We will pair up groups so that you can discuss and share work ahead of the meeting.
WHAT YOU CAN GET OUT OF THIS
Writers will submit a work in progress with a detailed programming problems relating to (open) hypermedia -- structures of different kinds, behaviors of different kinds, integration / enabling of new (legacy) applications. We are interested in integrating new tools (such as a 3D modeling tool) to work within a hypermedia environment and (depending on the nature of the tools) in enhancing integrated tools to provide new and powerful hypermedia features .
System developers will determine which projects they would like to work on, and will work with the writer to find ways to address these problems. System developers will submit a short proposalon how they will be able to help realize the development goals of the workshop.
