HUMAN’26 is the ninth workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. It is sponsored by SIGWEB and affiliated with the 37th ACM Conference on Hypertext. It has a strong focus on human factors combining user-centric hypertext and artificial intelligence (AI) to create intelligent hypertext systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The HUMAN’26 workshop will be held hybrid, that is, taking place in London and being streamed via Zoom. For further information see the workshop website and follow us on Mastodon<\/a> or Bluesky<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 the viewpoint of human factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 of identifying and solving today’s hypertext challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\nScope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
