DAH 2011 - DAH'11 2011 : International Workshop on Dynamic and Adaptive Hypertext

DAH’11: International Workshop on Dynamic and Adaptive Hypertext:
Generic Frameworks, Approaches and Techniques
June 6, 2011, Eindhoven, the Netherlands
in conjunction with the 22nd ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia
(HT'11)
www: http://www.win.tue.nl/~eknutov/dah11/


Dynamically generated hypertext adapted and personalized to the users’
needs and abilities has proven to be a very powerful technique over the
last one and a half decade. It is particularly helpful for reducing the
information overload that frequently occurs in the modern information
world. Adaptive hypertext is equally effective in many environments, be it
news, products, artifacts or descriptions thereof in electronic shops,
libraries or museums, or even learning materials.

Architecture and framework building efforts allow the hypertext community
to lay the foundations for the creation of generic system reference models
that spawn research activities in multiple domains. Examples of such
generic models are AHAM for adaptive hypermedia and FOHM for open
hypermedia as well as the APeLS and Personal Reader frameworks for
service-based adaptive hypermedia.

Rapid expansion of hypertext, web-based systems, and adaptive hypermedia
resulted in the emergence of a plethora of new terms, conceptual models,
and prototype systems. Classical hypermedia models are no longer capable
of capturing phenomena that evolve in the Social and Semantic Web. In
particular, open corpus adaptation, ontologies, group adaptation, and data
mining tools for adaptation are not supported or supported in a limited
fashion.

The DAH’11 workshop continues DAH’09
(http://www.win.tue.nl/~mpechen/conf/dah09/) at Hypertext’09 and
WABBWUAS’10 (http://adapt2.sis.pitt.edu/wiki/WABBWUAS) workshop at UMAP
2010. The workshop aims at providing a focused international forum for
researchers to present, discuss and explore the state of the art as well
as outline promising future research directions of dynamic and adaptive
hypertext. The workshop will invite submissions addressing different
aspects of dynamic and adaptive hypertext that focus on generic
frameworks, approaches and techniques and ways of reusing novel models
and/or existing system and their components for building adaptive
hypermedia systems.
