Hi all,
This is a call for workshop proposals at HT 2018, Baltimore, Maryland.
The ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media (HT) is a premium venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on theory, systems and applications for hypertext and social media. The conference would be held in the beautiful city of Baltimore this year. HyperText is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research, including social media, adaptation, personalization, recommendations, user modeling, linked data and semantic web, dynamic and computed hypertext, and its application in digital humanities, as well as with interplay between those aspects such as linking stories with data or linking people with resources. HT2018 will focus on the role of links, linking, hypertext and hyperlink theory on the web and beyond, as a foundation for approaches and practices in the wider community.

*** CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ***
The goals of the workshops are to provide a more informal setting for exchanging opinions, to share experiences, presenting ideas, foster the research community and identify open problems and/or explore directions for future research. As such, they also offer a good opportunity for researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community in an interactive atmosphere. Proposals are especially encouraged on emerging topics, related to the main conference themes, but may also include other (novel) topics, which might be of interest for the hypertext community.
Acceptance of workshop proposals will be based on the experience and background of the organizers in the topic, and on the relevance of the subject matter with regard to the topics addressed in the main conference. We welcome proposals for different types of workshops, from working groups on a specific topic to more traditional conference-like workshops. However, we prefer “interactive” workshops that guarantee richer active interactions among participants and provide significant room for controversial and stimulating discussions. Potential proposers are invited to discuss their ideas with the workshop chair before working out a detailed proposal.
Proposals for workshops should be no more than four pages in length (10pt, single column, with reasonable margins) with the following information: - Title of the workshop and suggested acronym - Keywords (describing the main themes) - Abstract - Description of the workshop (topics and goals) - Relevance of the workshop to Hypertext 2018 - Workshop organizers bios (1-2 paragraphs per organizer) - Motivation (why the topic is of interest for the conference audience) - Workshop and submission formats - Length (half day or full day- in this case, motivation for the need of a full day - Previous editions of the workshop series, if applicable (URLs, conference it was co-located with, number of registrants, number of submissions, number of accepted papers, and any other relevant information) - Any plan for further publication (e.g., special issue in journals) - Initial list of (potential) members of the program committee - Send your workshop proposals (in PDF format) by email to the workshop chairs, Haewoon Kwak (haewoon@acm.org) and Ujwal Gadiraju (gadiraju@L3S.de). For additional inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact the workshop chairs.
