HUMAN’24 – Human Factors in Hypertext
Proponents:
- Prof Dr Claus Atzenbeck, Institute for Information System, Hof University
- Prof Dr Jessica Rubart, Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences and Arts
Website: https://human.iisys.de/human24/
Keywords: User-Centric; Human-Centered; Information Structuring; UI; Interaction; Cognitive Aspects; Knowledge Work; Collaboration; Intercultural Aspects; Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence; Human-Centered Information Systems
HUMAN 2024 is intended to be the 7th workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. The HUMAN 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 as well as human-centered AI. Furthermore, the workshop raises the question of how original hypertext ideas (e.g., Doug Engelbart’s “augmenting human intellect” or Frank Halasz’ “hypertext as a medium for thinking and communication”) can improve today’s hypertext systems.

Keywords: Webcomics, Hypercomics, Creativity, Transmedia, Interfaces, Communities.
Web/Comics 2024 continues the workshop series commenced at last year’s ACM Hypertext conference. It focuses on the transformation of the comics medium enacted by hypertext through the emergence of webcomics, or “graphic sequential narratives that are created, published, and read on-line” [1].
The Web/Comics workshop brings together interdisciplinary perspectives from the humanities and technological communities to share work and discuss the latest research on webcomics from the perspectives of multiple disciplines. It wants to act as a bridge to
increase collaboration between the comics and hypertext research communities.
Researchers and practitioners working with webcomics or hypertext are invited to attend this workshop. Participants are asked to submit a short (between 2 and 4 pages) position paper on their current work. The planned event is a half day hybrid workshop with sessions based around short presentations, with emphasis on opportunities for dialogue and discussion in the final roundtable session.

Since their introduction, Online Social Networks deeply changed the way humans interact with each other, offering countless new possibilities and demolishing the physical barriers among people. Their worldwide adoption introduced numerous problems, including poor privacy management, the spread of fake news, the impact of bot accounts, architectural scalability, a poor redistribution of the economic value generated, and others. This workshop aims to attract contributions that can identify relevant problems in both centralized and decentralized Online Social Networks and propose innovative solutions to these problems.

LIRAI is a workshop series on Legal Information Retrieval and Legal Artificial Intelligence. It provides a forum for discussing current trends and challenges in legal artificial intelligence, specifically related to the hypertext nature of legal documents and retrieval tasks. The second edition of LIRAI focuses on three main directions: explainable / justifiable artificial intelligence, hybrid systems that combine formal approaches and machine learning-based methods, including deep learning-based methods, and finally generative artificial intelligence. We call for contributions on these topics in the form of short and long papers, and we aim to publish them as open-access proceedings on CEUR-WS.org once again.

NHT is a continuing workshop series associated with the ACM Hypertext conference for over a decade. The workshop acts as forum of discussion for the narrative systems community within the wider audience of the Hypertext conference. The workshop runs both presentations from authors of accepted short research papers, and unstructured unconference sessions to provide a venue for important discussions of issues facing and opportunities for members of the narrative and hypertext community. This year the workshop aims to build on last years discussed of “Mixed Reality Hypertext” with a targeted discussion of the ethics confronting narrative hypertext and specifically mixed reality hypertext as part of a wider discussion on the ethics of mixed reality games.
