HTF Workshop Series
The International Workshop Series on
Incorporating Hypertext Functionality Into Software Systems
The Hypertext Functionality Workshops
The Hypertext Functionality workshop series has grown out of the need for
hypertext practitioners and designers to work out best practice for the
design and implementation of hypertext systems, and to determine how to best
incorporate hypertext functionality (HTF) into new and existing information
systems.
As hypertext researchers, our aim has been the propagation of information
about good hypertext design and implementation, communicating the benefits
of hypertext to information systems designers and administrators, and
creating an open discussion environment where hypertext researchers,
practitioners and designers alike can meet and exchange information about
the use of hypertext.
HTF Workshop Series Theme
Work in the intersection of hypertext and software systems has grown significantly in volume,
quality, and diversity. In addition to incorporating hypertext functionality into software systems,
new areas of interest include engineering of hypertext capabilities, conceptual and practical
metaphors for software architectures and, most importantly, areas of overlap with the WWW
community, the MIS field, and the Open Hypermedia Systems (OHS) community. Therefore,
whereas the first three HTF workshops were held in association with the hypertext conference
series,
subsequent workshops have been scheduled to co-occur with other relevant
computer science conferences, taking HTF into the wider computer science
and information systems world.
While all workshops still share the underlying theme of hypertext
functionality, each is be tailored to the emphasis and unique interests of the adjoining
conference. In summary, our goal is to expand the scope of the HTF workshop series, reach out
to a broader, more diverse audience and influence and be influenced by the SE, WWW, OHS, and
MIS fields.
