Hypertext 2005 is in Salzburg in Austria this year, September 6-9. The list of accepted full papers is already available (http:// www.ht05.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=36) and now the call for short papers has just been extended till June 16. Short papers are a great chance to get new ideas or work in progress out there and discussed in a brief format. You can also submit a paper as a hypertext. I'd be especially keen to see papers on blogs. We're putting together a panel on blogs and considering making blogs a theme of their own in future Hypertext conferences. I'm program co-chair for literary papers, George Landow is the chair for humanities papers, and Mark Bernstein is the chair for papers submitted as hypertexts. So feel free to ask if you have any questions! Jill //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ACM Hypertext 2005 Call For Short Papers, Poster and Demonstrations http://www.ht05.org/ /***** Deadline Extention for Short Papers and Demonstrations *********/ Deadline for Short Paper Submissions: June 16, 2005 !!NEW!! Deadline for Demonstration Submissions: June 16, 2005 !!NEW!! Deadline for Poster Submissions: June 19, 2005 The 16th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (HT05) held 6-9 September 2005 in Salzburg, Austria seeks short paper, poster and demonstration submissions on specific issues or aspects of hypertext. 1. SHORT PAPERS Short papers should not exceed 3 pages when printed using the official ACM templates and typically present the initial results of new and innovative research projects. Short paper submissions to HT05 are reviewed by the program committee and reviewers,who are volunteers drawn from the international community of hypertext researchers and professionals. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality and potential importance of contribution. Because there is no revision cycle, the content and presentation of submitted papers must be essentially acceptable as received. Accepted papers are presented at the HT05 conference. Having a paper on the technical program gives authors an opportunity to have a tremendous impact on the study and application of hypertext principles, theory, and techniques. Submissions Short paper submissions for HT05 are due 16 June 2005. No late submissions will be accepted. In addition, HT05 will accept electronic submissions only. Submissions must be in PDF, Postscript or MS Word format. Short papers must not be longer than 3 pages.

POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS HT05 invites submission of high-quality posters and demonstrations presenting novel research, experience, tools, systems, techniques or methods in all topics of the main conference. This is an ideal platform for researchers and practitioners to present their work and receive valuable feedback. Posters Posters are a great way to communicate more informally with the hypertext community. Unlike papers, which must represent finished work that is a substantial contribution to the field, a poster is a great way to test new ideas, generate interest in a research area, or describe useful or interesting work that is not substantial enough for a paper presentation. Demonstrations Demonstrations’ aim is to communicate inventive hypermedia developments in action. Product demos are welcome, as well as demonstrations of research projects, prototypes and testbeds. The equipment required for the demonstration must be provided by the presenters. A limited number of projectors will be available on a first-requested basis by the conference organizer. Presentation Posters and demonstrations are interactive! A special session will be scheduled during which poster and demonstration presenters will be available for discussions. A slide show about posters and demonstrations will be displayed during the breaks of the conference, in order to attract attendees. Each poster will receive a 1.2m (width) x 1.5m (height) panel, and each demonstration a 1.8m x 0.6m desk along with a panel. Handouts of projects or systems can be distributed to conference attendants or included in the conference documentation material, if provided in time. Submissions Poster and demonstration proposals should be submitted as a 2-page PDF file using the conference paper format <http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html>. Authors should detail the content, significance, and novelty of their work. If available, preliminary results can also be included. Demonstration proposals can include a third page for screenshots. Please send your submissions by e-mail to the posters and demonstrations chair: Michalis Vaitis, vaitis@aegean.gr. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee of the conference. At least one person must register for the conference for each accepted poster or demonstration. Accepted poster and demonstration contributions will be included in the conference electronic proceedings. Authors should provide up to three MS-PowerPoint slides to be projected during the conference breaks (template will be provided to authors on their contribution acceptance).
