Message
I was at the Hypertext meeting in '94 where this got launched; and I joined the
group (not much bigger than ours) in their '98 Pittsburgh OHS4 Workshop. There
didnt seem to be much interest in our approach; but I somehow feel there would
be useful resonance when we get going.

Dear all,
please find enclosed the call for participation for OHS7 - the 7th
International Workshop on Open Hypermedia Systems which will be held in
conjunction with Hypertext 2001 in Aarhus, DK (August 14-18). Post-workshop
Proceedings of OHS 7, Structural Computing 3 (SC3) and the Workshop on Adaptive
Hypermedia (AH3) will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
7th Workshop on Open Hypermedia Systems
in conjunction with
Hypertext 2001
Aarhus, DK, August 14-18 2001
<http://www.salzburgresearch.at/suntrec/ohs7/>
The 7th Workshop on Open Hypermedia Systems (OHS7) will be held in
conjunction with Hypertext 2001, the 12th of the premier ACM conferences on
hypertext and hypermedia.
WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION & HISTORY
An Open Hypermedia System (OHS) is typically a middleware component which
provides hypermedia functionality to all applications on the users' desktop.
Hence, existing tools and applications can be hypermedia enabled using the
functionality provided by OHSs.
Starting with OHS1 (held at ECHT '94 Edinburgh, Scotland), a series of
workshops around this overall theme of OHSs has been organized: OHS2 (held
at Hypertext '96 Washington, D.C.),
OHS3 (held at Hypertext '97 in sunny Southampton, UK), OHS4 (held at
Hypertext '98 in Pittsburgh, PA), OHS5 (held at Hypertext '99 in Darmstadt,
Germany) and finally OHS6 (held at Hypertext '00 in San Antonio, TX).
The OHS community has established itself as a very active part of the
hypermedia research community. In March 1996, members of the OHS community
formed the Open Hypermedia Systems Working Group (OHSWG). Since then, the
OHSWG has been pursuing the difficult and rewarding task of addressing
interoperability amongst Open Hypermedia Systems.
Proposals for reference architectures, protocols for Open Hypermedia
Systems, application scenarios, the distinction between different hypertext
application domains, issues of OHS and Web integration, and many more
contributions from both researchers and practitioners build the repertoire
of subjects that have been addressed at previous workshops.
WORKSHOP THEME & POSITION PAPERS
Workshop papers should clearly state the author's view of important results
or research topics that should be addressed at the workshop. Suggested
topics include, but are not limited to:
* Interoperation and standardisation issues in OHS, including
architectural issues, protocols, naming, transformation, etc.
* Semantic Web including topic maps, meta data, ontologies, etc.
* Document models and hypertext
* Media aspects of OHSs such as synchronisation of contents and link
data, streaming of links, etc.
* OHS issues and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)
* Application scenarios, experiences, hypertext domains, and requirements
for OHSs
* Open Hypermedia on the Web
* Presentation aspects including personalisation, context awareness, etc.
* Progress reports by OHSWG subgroup chairs
If you are in doubt whether your subject is appropriate for OHS7 feel free
to contact the organiser.
Accepted papers will be published as Post-workshop Proceedings in Springer's
LNCS Series. Papers should be 7 to 10 pages A4 in length and should be
formatted according to Springer's LNCS guidelines (see also the workshop Web
page and the LNCS Author's Guidelines
<http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html>. Submit your paper via email
to sreich@salzburgresearch.at not later than Tuesday, June 5, 2001.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Position papers due Tue, Jun 5, 2001
* Notification of acceptance Fri, Jun 29, 2001
