HT2015, Call for Papers for Main Research Tracks 26th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media 2-4 September 2015 Cyprus http://ht.acm.org/ht2015/

--- Conference Scope ---
The ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media conference (HT) is a premium venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on theory, systems and applications for hypertext and social media. It is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research, including social media, adaptation and personalization, user modeling, linked data and semantic web, dynamic and computed hypertext, and its application in digital humanities.
HT2015 will focus on the role of hypertext and hyperlink theory on the web and beyond, as a foundation for approaches and practices in the wider community. Therefore, HT2015 has the following tracks:
* Digital Connectivity * Data Connectivity * Digital Humanities
--- Track DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY — http://ht.acm.org/ht2015/callforpapers.html
In modern Web environments hypermedia content is increasingly generated, processed, filtered, adjusted, and personalized. Online social networks further generalize the conventional notion of the hypermedia to imply connections between users via their content and media. Making sense of these complex processes has attracted significant attention in various research disciplines.
The Digital Connectivity track targets developing deeper insights into the mechanisms of information generation and dissemination, characterization of evolutionary processes on online social networks, studies of models and systems that support these processes, and the broader implications of these for organizations and society. The track provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the current state of art.
Addressing problems in the Digital Connectivity space necessitates expertise in several domains: Computer and Information Science, Social Sciences, Psychology, and Economics. Hence submissions of inter-disciplinary works are highly encouraged. We also welcome works that explore how Digital Connectivity can be applied in diverse domains, such as Education, Health, Journalism, Government, Environment, and Media.
Track Chairs: Shlomo Berkovsky, CSIRO, Australia Markel Vigo, University of Manchester, UK
— Track DATA CONNECTIVITY — http://ht.acm.org/ht2015/callforpapers.html#dataconnectivity
The need to make data available on the Web using formats and protocols that make them easier to consume by potential data reusers has been widely recognized and accepted by data owners. This is especially the case with Open Government Data initiatives, although this need has also arisen and dealt with in areas such as Culture, Journalism, Science, etc. Besides the obvious method of placing isolated datasets as files on Web servers, probably with some simple metadata associated to them, several other alternative methods have been proposed for making different types of data available on the Web: Linked Data, CSV on the Web, REST APIs, etc. Once these are available, they can be used inside data value chains to generate more added-value data, data-intensive applications, etc.
This track deals with the methods, techniques and technologies that can be used to make data available on the Web, with a special focus on how heterogeneous data sources can be connected to each other, hence breaking data silos on the Web. We are not only focused on using Linked Data approaches, which sit naturally for this purpose, but also on any other alternative approaches that may allow for such data publishing, description and interlinking. In fact, we welcome submissions that address any of the steps of the data-on-the-Web lifecycle, including the creation, interlinking, entity and relation extraction, semantic annotation, analysis and modeling, dynamics and evolution, and applications of connected data on the Web.

-- Track DIGITAL HUMANITIES — http://ht.acm.org/ht2015/callforpapers.html#digitalhumanities
With its wide-spread adoption, the World Wide Web has become a highly detailed yet biased reflection of human social behavior. The web in general and social media in particular have become attractive textual and non-textual data sources that potentially capture aspects of how people think/feel/behave in social situations (social psychology), relate to each other (sociology), govern themselves (political science), handle wealth (socioeconomics), or create culture (anthropology). While these phenomena have received attention from different communities, understanding human social behavior via unobtrusive methods (i.e. methods where the researcher doesn’t intrude into the research context) remains a challenging endeavor and an open problem. Tackling these challenges requires the development of new methods, instruments and techniques as well as an interdisciplinary effort from researchers across disciplines. In this track, we seek submissions contributing to studies of the web from an interdisciplinary perspective. In particular, we are seeking to attract work on the intersection between computer science on one hand, and the humanities and social sciences on the other.
Track Chairs: Jacco van Ossenbruggen, Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) & VU University, The Netherlands Markus Strohmaier, GESIS / University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany
--- SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT ACM SIGWEB is kindly offering a total of US$7000 in funding for Student Travel Awards. These awards are intended for student authors who have papers accepted in any of the tracks (full papers, short papers, posters, demos) as well as participants of the Doctoral Consortium and who attend the conference and personally present their research. SIGWEB Student Travel Awards typically range in value from $250 to $750. Student awards are intended to cover a portion only of the student’s overall expenses. The sizes of the awards in general will depend on the number of qualified applicants, and the amount of individual awards may vary depending on the distance travelled and the kind and ranking of the papers. Deadline: 13 July 2015 http://ht.acm.org/ht2015/support.html
