Co-organize the 10th annual edition of the H2PTM: Hypertext,
Hypermedia conference.

/// PRESENTATION

The H2PTM conference celebrates its 20 years and 9 previous editions. 
The first in 1988 at Paris 8 University and the 9th in 2007 in Hammamet, 
Tunisia. The 10th edition will bring it back to its roots at Paris 8. 
The upcoming conference will address advancements and research in the 
field of hypertext and hypermedia over the last 20 years and discuss 
perspectives for the years to come. H2PTM’09 will take up some of the 
classical topics that have accompanied the conference in the past and 
continue to stimulate our interest. Attentive to current developments 
the conference will, however, open up in several directions. Hypermedia 
tools are after all primarily tools of creation and it is along this 
line that new applications and creative practices define the digital 
universe. The conference will therefore pay special attention to matters 
of design for hypermedia, both amateur and professional.
Designing, building, understanding and criticizing web applications 
built around popular notions such as RSS, syndication and aggregation, 
mashups, geolocalisation, the semantic Web and blogging will be a 
particular focus, as well as considerations of use and social impact. 
The continuous evolution of 3D online, animation and interactivity make 
it necessary to reflect on video games as networked hypermedia.
The question of sharing and exchange lurks at the heart of networked 
practices. H2PTM’09 will therefore discuss the question of (multimedia) 
content online, how it is being created, distributed, stored and 
organized. This obviously includes the question of collaborative 
production of content, both for professional workgroups and loosely 
organized audiences on the Web.
The 10th edition will also give occasion to evaluate the evolution of 
both the theory and practice of hypertext and hypermedia and their 
implications for the development of emergent tools and uses (e-learning, 
accessibility, social networks, non-linear video, etc.). In an effort to 
bridge the rift between the “two cultures” and to foster 
interdisciplinary exchange H2PTM addresses creators and researchers from 
technical fields as well as scholars from the social sciences and the 
humanities.

/// ORGANIZATION

H2PTM'09 will include two types of sessions :
- The scientific conference
- An interactive exhibition and workshop demonstrations for artistic 
works, applications and experimental systems

The conference will allow researchers, professionals and publishers to 
evaluate the state of the art in hypertext and hypermedia theory and 
practice as well as to discuss future perspectives. The conference 
proceedings will be published with Hermès Lavoisier publishing, Paris

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

March 15 2009:
Authors submit their papers online at the following URL: 
http://paragraphe.univ-paris8.fr/h2ptm09

Three types of papers will be taken into consideration:
− Long papers: no longer than 4100 words, the complete paper should not 
exceed 10 pages in Times 12 points
− Short papers: no longer than 1600 words, the complete paper should not 
exceed 4 pages in Times 12 points
− Poster proposals: no longer than 540 words, the complete text should 
not exceed 2 pages in Times 12 points

Every proposition will be examined by at least two peer reviewers who 
will judge its relevance, scientific validity, originality as well as 
the general clarity and presentation.

May 15 2009:
A notification of acceptance or refusal is sent to all authors, as well 
as at least two sets of peer comments. Accepted authors will be informed 
of all technical details for publication. These technical specifications 
need to be followed as closely as possible in order to facilitate the 
preparation for the conference proceedings. A paper being accepted 
implies that at least one of the authors should be present for the 
conference.

June 20 2009:
Camera-ready papers must be sent to the program comity, using the final 
publication guidelines and style sheets. This date is quite important,
