Track Chair: David Millard (University of Southampton, United Kingdom)
Hypertext and Web systems are fundamentally about communication between people, and people are storytellers. In this track we seek submissions covering a broad range of topics around new media and digital storytelling, from both the technological and human points of view. We expect to include papers around technologies to support content curation and creation, dynamic linking and navigation, for example by exploiting the Web of linked and open data.
Further topics include data analysis, interactive visualization and presentation, and novel forms of digital narratives. We also expect to include papers that explore existing practices of online storytelling, including new media artistry and writing, online reportage and journalism, applications of digital storytelling, and critical theory around online expression. We particularly encourage multi-disciplinary work, that draws on wider methodological practices, and frames technology and human behaviour as co-dependant.

- Interactive digital storytelling
