Call for Workshop Proposals

ACM Hypertext 2013 will be running half-day workshops, taking place on May 1st, before the start of the main conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide a more informal setting where participants can exchange ideas on a focused topic and suggest directions for future research. As such, they also offer a good opportunity for researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community.

Acceptance of workshop proposals will be based on the experience and background of the organizers in the topic, and on the relevance of the subject matter with regard to the topics addressed in the main conference. Potential proposers are invited to discuss their ideas with the workshop chair before working out a detailed proposal.

The deadline for submitting proposals will be November 23rd, 2012. All workshop proceeedings will be published in the ACM DL.
