9th International Workshop on Narrative and Hypertext<\/strong> (NHT)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Workshop website:<\/strong> http:\/\/nht.ecs.soton.ac.uk\/2021\/<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Organised by:<\/strong> Description<\/strong>: This workshop aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum to bring together individuals from the humanities and technological communities to share work and discuss state-of-the-art research on narrative from both a technical and aesthetic perspective. The focus of this year’s workshop will be “The Narrative Systems and Interactive Digital Narrative Research Community,” which covers hypertext, interactive storytelling, electronic literature, game based storytelling, and computational narrative. NHT will host a discussion and debate on the disparate parts of this community, how they connect, and particularly their connections to hypertext. How do these different views of IDN connect with one another? How can an understanding of these connections inform practice and research across all the communities? How can we better understand the geography of our wider research community? 4th Workshop on Human Factors in Hypertext (HUMAN’21)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Workshop website:<\/strong> https:\/\/human.iisys.de\/human21\/<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Organised by:<\/strong> Description<\/strong>: Recent hypertext research is strongly focused on machine analytics. We would like to broaden the scope again to include more research on human factors. Historically, hypertext research is strongly connected with human factors. Hypertext pioneers, such as Doug Engelbart or Ted Nelson, focused on human factors in hypertext, e.g., Doug Engelbart\u2019s \u201caugmenting human intellect\u201d or Ted Nelson\u2019s information structure \u201cZigZag\u201d. This workshop combines original hypertext research ideas with recent hypertext research trends. In addition, the motivation is to consolidate different hypertext research areas from the viewpoint of human factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will be a half day discussion on this topic. While this will be an open discussion it will also be led by invited speakers – we ask that participants who would like to speak at the workshop submit an abstract of up to 300 words (to the organisers by email) describing your thoughts with regards to these communities and their relationships. The expectation is that time will be provided on the day for accepted abstracts to be presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop has a strong focus on the user and thus is complementary to the strong machine analytics research direction that could be experienced in previous conferences. 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\u2019s \u201caugmenting human intellect\u201d or Frank Halasz\u2019 \u201chypertext as a medium for thinking and communication\u201d) can improve today\u2019s hypertext systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
