Subject: Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web Based Systems ' 2002: One week extension of paper submission deadline Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 23:10:43 -0500 From: Peter Brusilovsky peterb@mail.sis.pitt.edu To: SIGECOM-ANNOUNCE-REQUEST@ACM.ORG, infodir_sigir@ACM.ORG, SIGWEB-TALK@ACM.ORG, CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS@ACM.ORG
With the approaching paper submission deadline (Jan. 7th) AH'2002 chairs have got a number of requests to extend it. This message is to announce that the deadline was extended until January 14 (one week). We understand that finishing the paper during the first days of New Year is very hard for academics in several countries. We also want to avoid a deadline conflict with Hypertext'02, the premier conference of one of our cooperating societies. We will not be able to extend the deadline any further because of Springer-Verlag's tight publishing schedule.
Please, pass this information to your colleagues.
