=============== CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
================
In conjunction with Hypertext 2014, the 25th ACM Conference
on Hypertext and Social Media.
Santiago, Chile, September 1-4, 2014
February 21, 2014: Workshop proposals due
=========================================================================
The ACM Hypertext conference focuses on all aspects of
modern hypertext research including social media, semantic
web, dynamic and computed hypertext and hypermedia as well as
narrative systems and applications.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit
proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the
25th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media conference.
Hypertext 2014 workshops will provide participants with
opportunities to discuss and explore emerging areas of
Hypertext and Social Media with fellow students, researchers,
and practitioners from Industry and Academia. The goals of
theworkshops are to provide a a more informal setting for
exchanging opinions, to share experiences, presenting ideas,
foster 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,
somehow related to the main conference tracks (links and
connection between people, open data and the semantic of
things, user experience and adaptive linking), but are not
limited to other (novel) topics which might be of interest for
the hypertext community. Acceptance ofworkshop 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.
We preferentially would rather proposals for half-day
workshops. The need for a full-day workshop should be
motivated by some particular reason. Potential proposers are
invited to discuss their ideas with the workshop chair before
working out a detailed proposal.
===========================PROPOSAL FORMAT
=============================
The workshop proposals – not longer than 5 pages - have to
be sent by email to theworkshop chairs, and must contain the

conference audience)
- Workshop format (paper presentations, invited talks,
panels, demo, discussion, etc)
- Submissions format (position papers, research papers,
demo, poster, presentations..) and, for each type of
submission, specify the features (length of the papers,
template, etc)
- Intended audience and expected attendance (with
historical data of past versions of the workshop, if
available)
- Initial list of (potential) members of the program

(URLs, conference it was co-located with, number of
registrants, number of submissions, number of accepted papers,
and any other relevant information)
The Workshop Proceedings will be published in the ACM
Hypertext Extended Proceedings. If the organizers have
addition plans for dissemination (for example, a special issue
of a journal) this needs to specified in the proposal.
=============== ORGANIZATION OF WORKSHOP ===============
