The conference will provide a forum where delegates can present, exchange and discuss original ideas and exciting experiences relating to hypermedia (objects, links, paths, spaces, time, collections, navigational aids, etc.) and the use of hypermedia concepts and technologies in special domains (e.g., authoring, publishing, human-computer interaction, digital libraries, electronic literature, computer-supported cooperative work, databases, operating systems, software engineering, education, and global information systems such as the WWW, etc.). The Hypertext 2000 conference will run back-to-back with the ACM Digital Libraries conference, starting with Hypertext 2000 from May 30th to June 3rd, and continuing with Digital Libraries from June 2nd to June 7th. Both conferences are held in the attractive Menger Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. The conference URLs where you can find details of the entire programmes can be found at http://www.ht00.org/ and http://www.dl00.org/ Summary of contents: * Keynote Speakers * Technical Program * Workshops * Tutorials * Registration Details (including Airline and Hotel discounts) Keynote speakers: ----------------- Scott McCloud Scott has been writing and drawing comics since 1984.

Blustein Workshops: --------- Hypertext Writers Message Morphs the Media Writers, readers, and system developers share works in progress and discuss techniques and strategies to improve hyperliteracy. Dates held: Tue 30th May and afternoon of Fri 2nd June Open Hypermedia Systems OHS6 will be open to all aspects relevant to open hypermedia systems. The focus will centre around hypermedia middleware and integration with front-end applications. Date held: Tue 30th May Structural Computing A focus on the application of structural computing ideas to real problems, as well as work reporting on experimental prototypes of structural computing infrastructure. Date held: Tue 30th May Information Doors - Where Information Search and Hypertext Link This workshop will consider search results as a form of hypertext, encouraging discussion about the nature of this dynamically created textual point-of-departure. Date held: Tue 30th May Tutorials: ---------- Hypertext 2000 and Digital Libraries 2000 share a combined tutorial program. Most of the tutorials will be held between the two conferences and include up-to-date tutorials in new technologies such as XML and XLink, as well as key technologies for building and using digital libraries.
