Collaborate, Exchange, Invent : Network Experiences
October 29-31 2007 – Hammamet, Tunisia
Laboratoire PARAGRAPHE of Paris 8 University (France) and the Ecole Nationale des Sciences de l’Informatique de l’Université de la Manouba (Tunisia), under the partonage of the Tunesian Assiciation for Artificial Intelligence, co-organize the 9th edition of H2PTM : Hypertextes, Hypermédias
OBJECTIFS
This 9th edition of the H2PTM conference series will take place in Hammamet, Tunesia, restating the now classic themes that initiated the first conference and confirm its continuity since. With attention to recent developments, however, it progressively expands the thematic area into several directions.
Hypermedia tools are above anything else instruments of creation and it is hypermedia where the new products and works of the digital universe are created. The conference thus accords a large part to the problems of product development and artistic creation. It emphasizes – among other things – the question of the “digital author”. The fast paced development of 3D, animation, and interaction technologies stirs at the same time an interest in video and computer games which will be part of H2PTM this year. The conference will also tackle the question of “exchange”, which lies at the heart of network practices. Finally, it will closely examine the notion of the digital document from the point of view of its creation, transmission and conservation.
Having arrived at a point of maturity, the conference seeks to establish a perspective on the evolution of its centers of interest and – after a lot of experimentation – to come back to the question of experience. This concept will therefore play the role of a red line: user experience, author experience, capitalized experience, lived experience, transmitted experience; this way, the anthropological dimension of hypermedia will be examined and underlined.
ORGANIZATION
The H2PTM’07 conference will consist of two types of alternating sessions:
– Scientific conferences, “Methods, Models, Tools, Products, Works”
– Interactive expositions and demonstration workshops, “Works, Applications, Experiments”
The conference offers scientist, industrials, and publishers the possibility to reflect on the state of the art in hypertext, hypermedia, and Internet systems as well as to discuss future developments in the field. The conference proceedings will be published as an anthology in the H2PTM collection with Hermes publishing.
