If you want to take advantage of the early bird registration rates for Hypertext 2010 conference and workshops, please register before the May 5 deadline. Registration includes conference, coffee breaks, two receptions and a banquet. Registration is easy and only takes a couple of minutes. Otherwise, if you miss the May 5 date, then you will have to pay the regular price. There are lots of great workshops to attend which happen on June 13, the day before when the main conference begins.
Also, if you haven't already, please also book your hotel rooms as the special conference rate of $129.99 ends May 14. The booking code to get the conference rate is "ACM". There are 20 rooms available at this rate. The hotel is a pleasant 7 minute walk from the conference location. Please book as early as possible to ensure room availability and note that the conference rate expires May 14, 2010.
The conference program schedule is now up so have a look. And if you've never been to Toronto, why don't you stay a couple of days after the conference until the weekend (if your time permits), so youcan sightsee around Toronto and even go to Niagara Falls and enjoy what the greater Toronto area and its surroundings have to offer.

1. International Workshop on Modeling Social Media 2010 (MSM'10)

Social media applications such as blogs, microblogs, wikis, news aggregation sites and social tagging systems have pervaded the web and have transformed the way people communicate and interact with each other online. In order to understand and effectively design social media systems, we need to develop models that are capable of reflecting their complex, multi-faceted socio-technological nature. While progress has been made in modeling particular aspects of selected social media applications (such as the architecture of weblog conversations, the evolution of wikipedia, or the mechanics of news propagation), other aspects are less understood.

2. Rhetorical and Semantic Possibilities of Links: Cultural and Literary Applications of Links
Deena Larsen

Contact: deenalarsen@yahoo.com
Mark Bernstein has written that the link is “the most important new punctuation mark since the comma.” More than that, the link actually conveys meaning. But how do people use links to communicate ideas?
This workshop is designed to uncover the semantic value of the link and its potential rhetorical effects. We want to know what has been the cultural, literary, rhetorical, and semantic impact of the link to date, and what future effects can we anticipate and bring about. We will explore the link in hands-on exercises and examinations of electronic literature and other hypermedia examples. Ideally, the audience will be broad, composed of anyone who wants to develop a further understanding of this tool.

3. Critical Code Studies
Mark Marino
Contact:
markcmarino@gmail.com
Recent movements in technocultural studies have sent critics “under the hood” of digital texts. This workshop examines the code that produces the creative digital artifacts in order to develop a rich sense of the artistic and social implications of particular coding choices. A primary goal is to develop the ways of speaking about the code to complement the kinds of analyses that have typified Hypertext.

4. Enhancing Health Data Utilization with Hypertext

The goal of this workshop is to identify opportunities to use hypertext, annotation, and social computing in making better use of emerging sensor and information technologies in healthcare. We expect that a broad range of research approaches will be relevant to this workshop, with issues including the role of hypertext in the design of EHR systems, and best practices in the design of annotated and hyperlinked health applications.

Hypertext 2010 Reviews are out
Hypertext 2010 reviews are now out. We received a lot of papers but unfortunately we could only accept a certain number of them. Thank you for your submission. Authors have received their reviews and in some cases, the authors have been encouraged to submit their paper as a short paper or as a poster. For those who were not accepted, please do not be discouraged, it was difficult to review all the papers. We hope that you will be able to attend the Hypertext conference in Toronto, Canada, and if not, you can read all about what is happening from our Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter feeds, so it is as if you were at the conference!

ACM Hypertext 2010 Final Call for Posters and Demos
The deadline for submissions of posters and demos to Hypertext 2010 is on March 29, 2010. Technical demonstration of new tools and innovative applications of hypertext are solicited, as well as research at a preliminary stage.
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submissions: March 29, 2010
Notification to authors: April 15, 2010
Camera-ready copy (all accepted submissions): May 1, 2010
(All deadlines: midnight, Hawaii Standard Time)
Submissions may include:
Posters (max 2 pages) offer researchers a unique opportunity to present late-breaking results, significant work in progress, or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Poster submissions are welcomed in areas related to any of the three tracks. Please note, however, that posters describing work at the proposal stage will not be accepted.
Demos (max 1 page) should describe the system and include a list of any required supporting equipment. We assume that most equipment will be supplied by the demonstrator. Poster and demos presentations further provide researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the poster session.
All submissions should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG Proceedings Template (http://www.acm.org/ sigs/publications/proceedings- templates) and submitted via Easychair (https://www.easychair.org/ login.cgi?conf=ht2010). Accepted posters and demos will appear in the Hypertext 2010 Conference Proceedings.
