CALL FOR PAPERS

HUMAN’24 is the seventh workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. It is sponsored by SIGWEB and affiliated with the 35th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media. It has a strong focus on human factors, combining user-centric hypertext and artificial intelligence (AI) to create intelligent hypertext systems.

The user-centric view on hypertext not only includes user interfaces and interaction, but also discussions about hypertext application domains. Furthermore, the workshop raises the question of how original hypertext ideas (e.g., Doug Engelbart’s “augmenting human intellect” or Frank Halasz’ “hypertext as a medium for thinking and communication”) can improve today’s hypertext systems.

The HUMAN’24 workshop will be held hybrid, that is, taking place in Poznan, Poland and being streamed via Zoom. For further information, see the workshop website and follow us on Mastodon or X.

SCOPE

Historically, hypertext is strongly connected to human factors. This can be experienced by the early work provided by hypertext pioneers, such as Doug Engelbart or Ted Nelson. However, recent research trends have shadowed this in parts. Therefore, this workshop combines original hypertext ideas with recent hypertext research trends. Furthermore, it tries to consolidate different hypertext areas by looking at those from a human factors viewpoint.

HUMAN also encourages submitting work that has an interdisciplinary perspective. It targets both scientists and developers from various research and business areas who consider a critical and open-minded discussion of original hypertext ideas with the goal to identify and solve today’s hypertext challenges.

Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Systems for augmenting human intellect
  • User-centric hypertext systems
  • User interfaces and interactions
  • Cognitive aspects and hypertext
  • Collaborative hypertext and social media
  • Information structuring
  • Hypertext used for human communication
  • Hypertext and decision-making
  • Spatial hypertext
  • Annotation services
  • Organizing information
  • Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence
  • Human-Centered Information Systems
  • eXplainable AI in hypertext
  • VR or AR environments for hypertext
  • Information structuring in digital humanities
  • User perspectives in adaptive hypertext
  • Social aspects of humans using hypertext
  • Intercultural aspects in hypertext
