Social Linking Track at Hypertext 2008: the Nineteenth ACM Conference
on Hypertext and Hypermedia
http://www.sigweb.org/ht08
June 19th-21st 2008, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
*** Second Call for Papers (submission deadline: February 11th 2008)
The ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia is the acknowledged
venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on linking. The web,
the semantic web and the Web 2.0 are all manifestations of the
success of the link. The Hypertext Conference provides the forum for
research that considers links, their semantics, their presentation,
the applications they have been put to, the knowledge that can be
derived from their analysis and their effect of society. If
information is connected, then the connection is called a link, and
the Hypertext Conference is concerned with all research concerning 数据挖掘研究院
links. HT08 will consist of four independent tracks, each with its
own track committee: Information Linking and Organization;
Applications of Hypertext; Hypertext, Culture, and Communication;
and Social Linking, to which we call your attention.
One of the most exciting recent developments in Web science is the
rise of social annotation, by which users can easily markup other
authors' resources via collaborative mechanisms such as tagging,
filtering, voting, editing, classification, and rating. These social
processes lead to the emergence of many types of links between
texts, users, concepts, pages, articles, media, and so on. We
welcome submissions on design, analysis, and modeling of information
systems driven by social linking. Topics of interest include: 数据挖掘研究院
* Design of collaborative annotation mechanisms
* Critical mass and incentives of social participation (e.g. games)
* User interfaces for collaborative annotation
* Applications to search, retrieval, recommendation, and navigation
* Explicit vs. inferred social links (e.g. mining query logs)
* Integration with content-based systems (e.g. linking in blogs)
* Socially induced measures of similarity, relatedness, or distance
* Co-evolution of social, information, and semantic networks
* Analysis of structure and dynamics of social information networks
* Behavioral patterns of social linking
* Linguistic analysis of social annotation spaces
* Formal and generative models of social annotation
* Unstructured vs. structured social knowledge representations
* Implementation and scalability of social link representations
* Automatic and user-based evaluation
* Robustness against spam and other forms of social abuse
Details on the submission format and procedure are available at the 数据挖掘研究院
HT2008 submission page (http://www.sigweb.org/ht08
Accepted papers will appear in the formal Conference Proceedings,
published by ACM. All material will be available through the ACM
Digital Library.
*** Technical Paper Stream
February 11th 2008 submission deadline
March 21st 2008 authors informed of results of reviewing
April 4th 2008 final Papers to ACM
Full Papers:
Full technical papers (10 pages) should present significant
scientific advances that are at a mature stage of development. We are
looking for full papers that present relevant contributions to
research, development, and practice in the area of hypertext and
hypermedia. We are also interested in survey papers which present an
authoritative and original perspective on an area of interest.
Short Papers:
Short papers (5 pages) should present interesting recent results or
novel thought-provoking ideas that are not quite ready for a regular
full-length paper, or where the research has limited scope or the
results have lesser significance.
*** Posters and Demonstrations
March 28th 2008 submission deadline
April 9th 2008 committee decisions to authors
April 16th 2008 final copy to ACM
Poster presentations and demonstrations (2 pages in the proceedings)
are solicited, which present new ideas, generate interest in a
research area, or describe or demonstrate useful or interesting work
that is not substantial enough for a technical paper presentation.
*** Location
ACM Hypertext 2008 will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
ranked #1 Most Livable City in America. It is co-located and
scheduled directly after ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital
Libraries (http://www.jcdl2008.org/). The two conferences will meet 数据挖掘实验室
again in Pittsburgh, 10 years years after ACM Hypertext 1998 and ACM
Digital Libraries 1998 were last co-located there. In 2008, both
conferences are being hosted by the School of Information Sciences at
the University of Pittsburgh (http://www.sis.pitt.edu/). The
Pittsburgh area is home to more than 25 colleges and universities,
resulting in a vibrant and diverse community of learners and
teachers. The region welcomes more than 10 million visitors each
year, who enjoy amenities and cultural attractions including the
world-class Carnegie Museums, the outstanding Pittsburgh Symphony
Orchestra and the decades-long tradition of major league sports!
Pittsburgh is centrally located, being within 90 minutes flying time
of the country's major metropolitan areas. While being challenged
by the presentations at Hypertext 2008, don't miss an opportunity to
sample the museums, the performing arts organizations and the city's
charming and diverse neighborhoods.
