1st CALL FOR PAPERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DAH-09: International Workshop on Dynamic and Adaptive
Hypertext: Generic Frameworks, Approaches and Techniques
(http://www.win.tue.nl/~mpechen/conf/dah09/)

at ACM HT 2009: the 20th ACM Hypertext Conference
(http://www.ht2009.org/) June 29 - July 1, 2009, Torino, Italy
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Dynamic generation of hypertext and its adaptation and
personalization to particular users is a powerful and useful
concept. It is particularly helpful for the reduction of the
information overload such as is frequently experienced on the
Internet. But it is equally helpful for guiding users towards
"interesting" topics, products, artifacts or descriptions
thereof in electronic shops, libraries or museums, or for
filtering appropriate items from a general or domain-specific
news feed.

Reference models and generic architectures unify a community
and provide a leading generic model and/or architecture that
spawns research activities in many directions. Examples of such
generic models are AHAM for adaptive hypermedia and FOHM for
open hypermedia. A nice example of a resulting generic
implementation is the AHA! system that was last described in
ACM Hypertext '06.

The research fields of hypertext and adaptive hypermedia (or
adaptive web-based information systems) however, have been
growing rapidly during the past ten years and this has resulted
in a plethora of new terms, concepts, models and prototype
systems. As a result the established models no longer include
many of the recent new concepts and phenomena. In particular,
open corpus adaptation, ontologies, group adaptation, social
network analysis and data mining tools for adaptation are not
or at least insufficiently supported. The DAH'09 Workshop as
part of Hypertext 2009 conference aims at providing a focused
international forum for researchers to present, discuss and
explore new developments in generic methods and technologies
for dynamic and adaptive hypertext. A non-exhaustive list of
topics of interest includes:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

o open-corpus adaptation
o group adaptation
o higher order adaptation
o sharing of user models

All submissions will be handled electronically. Please submit
your contribution (up to 12 LNCS format pages) before the
submission deadline (March 25, 2009) to the DAH'09 workshop
chairs by e-mail: debra@win.tue.nl and m.pechenizkiy@tue.nl
