This session is a venue for early stage research results, as compared to the full-paper track of the conference. Late-breaking results contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes. Papers can cover any of the 3 full paper tracks listed for Hypertext 2016 (See Conference Tracks).
Submissions will be assessed based on their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall readability.
Please note that late-breaking papers are not a second chance for those that did not make it to the main track. Only new research with up-to-date results are considered as late-breaking results.
Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session during Hypertext 2016 and will be published in the Hypertext 2016 Companion Proceedings on CEUR-WS.org.
Submissions should follow the same guidelines as the full papers. The page limit is 4 pages, including references. All submissions should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG proceedings template and submitted through the EasyChair ACM HT 2016 Extended Proceedings site, designated as a "Late-breaking Results" paper. Only PDF documents will be accepted.

We invite applications to participate in the HT2016 Doctoral Consortium, which offers PhD candidates the opportunity to present their doctoral research at HT2016 and receive feedback and guidance from a committee of distinguished research faculty. High-quality submissions will be selected for inclusion in the HT2016 Extended Proceedings.
Each accepted submission will be assigned a mentor, who will provide feedback and guidance with respect to the doctoral research and the presentation. To facilitate cross-fertilization of research ideas and encourage cross-disciplinary connections, the two collocated conferences UMAP 2016 and Hypertext 2016 will have a joint Doctoral Consortium session.
The HT2016 Doctoral Consortium session will be organized in the form of an "Ignite session": PhD candidate are allotted 10 minutes each to present their PhD research using exactly 20 slides. After each presentation the panel will provide constructive feedback and guidance. The goal is to do so in a collaborative and informal setting, which minimizes lecture time and maximizes interaction.
To apply to participate in the doctoral consortium please submit a 2 page abstract that contains the following:
We encourage you to include 1 significant diagram or chart and a maximum of 20 references. References do not count against the page limit. Please adhere to the HT2016 formatting guidelines.
Your abstract will be carefully peer-reviewed by the Doctoral Consortium committee and must be submitted via the Easychair HT2016 Extended Proceedings page at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmht2016extended
HT2016 student support may be available to cover some travel and accommodation expenses. Preference will be given to students presenting at the conference, including the HT2016 Doctoral Consortium. For more information and instructions how to apply, please visit the Student Support page.

In the wake of a booming resurgence of interest in creative hypertext over recent years, we are increasingly seeing new directions and possibilities for artists exploring the creative potential of the link. This year, we are delighted to offer a space for exhibition and performance of creative hypertext works at the conference venue.
We invite the submission of a broad range of creative works from a variety of artistic traditions that engage with the expressive potentials of hypertext, the link, and social media—particularly those that address the conference theme of “Missing Links.” Example forms include but are not limited to:
Other presentation formats are welcome and should be described in the proposal.
We are especially asking for work that can be presented or demonstrated in 10 minutes even if the work might take longer to fully explore all content. Because of space limitations, works not exhibited via computer, tablet, or mobile device may not be accommodated; please specify your requirements in your proposal. We are not able to accommodate installation pieces.
Proposals should include the following information
Submissions should follow the same guidelines as the full papers. The page limit is 4 pages, including references (if any).

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit either workshop or tutorial proposals to be held in conjunction with Hypertext 2016. The workshops and tutorials will provide participants with opportunities to discuss, explore, and learn emerging areas of Hypertext and Social Media with fellow students, researchers, and practitioners from Industry and Academia.
The workshop and tutorial proceedings will be published in the Hypertext 2016 Extended Proceedings.
Submission deadline: 15 January 2016 (passed)
Accepted workshops can be found in the Call for Workshop Contributions. Please consider submitting to one of the workshops.
The goals of the workshops are to provide a more informal setting for exchanging opinions, to share experiences, presenting ideas, foster research community and identify open problems and/or explore 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 in an interactive atmosphere. Proposals are especially encouraged on emerging topics, related to the main conference tracks (i.e., missing links on the WWW), but may also include other (novel) topics which might be of interest for the hypertext 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. We welcome proposals for different types of workshops, from working groups on a specific topic to more traditional conference-like workshops. However, we prefer “interactive” workshops that guarantee richer active interactions among participants and provide significant room for controversial and stimulating discussions. Potential proposers are invited to discuss their ideas with the workshop chair before working out a detailed proposal.
Send your workshop proposals (in PDF format) by email to the workshop/tutorial chair, with the following information:
As part of the Hypertext 2016 program, in addition, we cordially invite proposals for tutorials from active researchers and experienced tutors in academia, industry, and government agencies. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research and ideas, innovative developments, and novel applications in a specific aspect of hypertext and social media, but proposals are especially encouraged on emerging topics, related to the main conference tracks (i.e., missing links on the WWW).
Send your tutorial proposal (in PDF format) by email to the workshop/tutorial chair with the following information:
The accepted proposal presenters should provide comprehensive tutorial notes or slides to the tutorial audience free of charge.
The Hypertext 2016 conference invites the following contributions and provides the following opportunities for publication. Please refer to the conference tracks for a list of topics relevant to the conference.
The deadline for the main proceedings has passed and we received 84 interesting submissions. Check out the list of accepted papers. We have five more calls for late submissions to the Extended Proceedings.
The Extended Proceedings provide a publication opportunity for early stage research results, as compared to the full-paper track of the conference. Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session during Hypertext 2016. Submission categories include (click on the link for the detailed calls):
