Hi all,

This is a reminder about submissions for the Hypertext workshops as well as the Hypertext early bird registration deadline of May 5. Please see the respective workshop web sites for details on how to submit your paper and go to http://www.ht2010.org.

1. International Workshop on Modeling Social Media 2010 (MSM'10) x Alvin Chin, Nokia Research Center, Beijing, China. Contact: alvin.chin (at) nokia.com

Social media applications such as blogs, microblogs, wikis, news aggregation sites and social tagging systems have pervaded the web and have transformed the way people communicate and interact with each other online. In order to understand and effectively design social media systems, we need to develop models that are capable of reflecting their complex, multi-faceted socio-technological nature. While progress has been made in modeling particular aspects of selected social media applications (such as the architecture of weblog conversations, the evolution of wikipedia, or the mechanics of news propagation), other aspects are less understood.

2. Rhetorical and Semantic Possibilities of Links: Cultural and Literary Applications of Links http://www.ht2010.org/Workshops_2.htmlDeena Larsen

Mark Bernstein has written that the link is "the most important new punctuation mark since the comma." More than that, the link actually conveys meaning. But how do people use links to communicate ideas?

This workshop is designed to uncover the semantic value of the link and its potential rhetorical effects. We want to know what has been the cultural, literary, rhetorical, and semantic impact of the link to date, and what future effects can we anticipate and bring about. We will explore the link in hands-on exercises and examinations of electronic literature and other hypermedia examples. Ideally, the audience will be broad, composed of anyone who wants to develop a further understanding of this tool.

3. Critical Code Studies Mark Marino

Contact: markcmarino@gmail.commailto:markcmarino@gmail.com

Recent movements in technocultural studies have sent critics "under the hood" of digital texts. This workshop examines the code that produces the creative digital artifacts in order to develop a rich sense of the artistic and social implications of particular coding choices. A primary goal is to develop the ways of speaking about the code to complement the kinds of analyses that have typified Hypertext.

4. Enhancing Health Data Utilization with Hypertext Diego Rivera Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto Dr. Tammy Sieminowski, Physician

Contact: riverady@gmail.commailto:riverady@gmail.com

The goal of this workshop is to identify opportunities to use hypertext, annotation, and social computing in making better use of emerging sensor and information technologies in healthcare. We expect that a broad range of research approaches will be relevant to this workshop, with issues including the role of hypertext in the design of EHR systems, and best practices in the design of annotated and hyperlinked health applications.
