Forwarded message from [sre@IFS.UNI-LINZ.AC.AT (Sigi Reich)] sent originally on Tue, 28 Mar 2000 08:14:50 +0200: : (Apologies if you receive multiple postings) : : Call for Participation : : 6th Workshop on Open Hypermedia Systems : (http://www.ifs.uni-linz.ac.at/~sre/ohs6/) : : in conjunction with : Hypertext 2000 : San Antonio, TX, May 30 2000 : (http://www.ht00.org/) : : The 6th Workshop on Open Hypermedia Systems (OHS6) will be held in : conjunction with Hypertext 2000, the 11th of the premier ACM : conferences on hypertext and hypermedia. The workshop is scheduled : for Tuesday May 30, 2000. : : WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION & HISTORY : : An Open Hypermedia System (OHS) is typically a middleware : component which provides hypermedia functionality to all : applications on the users' desktop. Hence, existing tools and : applications can be hypermedia enabled using the functionality : provided by OHSs. : : Starting with OHS1 (held at ECHT '94 Edinburgh, Scotland), : a series of workshops around this overall theme of OHSs has : been organized: OHS2 (held at Hypertext '96 Washington, D.C.), : OHS3 (held at Hypertext '97 in sunny Southampton, UK), OHS4 (held : at Hypertext '98 in Pittsburgh, PA), and OHS5 (held at Hypertext : '99 in Darmstadt, Germany). : : The OHS community has established itself as a very active part of : the hypermedia research community. In March 1996, members of the : OHS community formed the Open Hypermedia Systems Working : Group (OHSWG). Since then, the OHSWG has been pursuing the : difficult and rewarding task of addressing interoperability : amongst Open Hypermedia Systems. Proposals for reference : architectures, protocols for Open Hypermedia Systems, : application scenarios, the distinction between different : hypertext application domains, issues of OHS and Web : integration, and many more contributions from both : researchers and practitioners build the repertoire of subjects : that have been addressed at previous workshops (for an overview of : these see http://www.aue.auc.dk/~kock/HomePage/events.html). : : WORKSHOP THEME & POSITION PAPERS : : Workshop papers should clearly state the author's view of important : results or research topics that should be addressed at the workshop. : Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: : : * Interoperability and standardisation issues in OHS, : including architectural issues, protocols, naming, etc. : * Application scenarios, experiences, hypertext domains, : and requirements for OHSs : * WWW and OHS settings : * Media aspects of OHSs such as synchronisation of contents and : link data, etc. : * Presentation aspects including issues of context awareness, etc. : * Progress reports by OHSWG subgroup chairs : : If you are in doubt whether your subject is appropriate for OHS6 : feel free to contact the organiser. : : Accepted papers will be published as Post-workshop Proceedings in : Springer's LNCS Series. Papers should be 7 to 10 pages A4 in : length and should be formatted according to Springer's LNCS : guidelines (see also the workshop Web page and the LNCS : Author's Guidelines : http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submit your : paper via email to sre@ifs.uni-linz.ac.at not later than Monday, : April 3 2000. : : IMPORTANT DATES : : * Position papers due Mon, Apr 3, 2000 : * Notification of acceptance Fri, Apr 28, 2000 : * Workshop date Tue, May 30, 2000 : * Final version of paper due Mon, Jun 12, 2000 : : ORGANIZER : : Sigi Reich : Department of Information Systems : Altenbergerstrasse 69 : 4040 Linz : Austria : : phone +43 732 2468 9552 : fax +43 732 2468 9308 : email sre@ifs.uni-linz.ac.at : www http://www.ifs.uni-linz.ac.at/~sre/ : : Sigi Reich is a teaching and research assistant at the Department : of Information Systems, Linz. He has participated in the Open : Hypermedia Workshops and Working Group meetings since 1996. Over : the last years Sigi Reich has been involved in aspects of : interoperability of Open Hypermedia Systems, in particular the : development of the Open Hypermedia Navigational Interface : (OHP-Nav). He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Computer Science from the : University of Vienna. : : ÿÿStart of ISWorld List Footer ÿÿ : ISWorld list is a service of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) : (http://www.aisnet.org) hosted at University College Dublin.
