The expanding research area of adaptive hypermedia has also led to the start of a series of International Conferences on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-based Systems. The first conference was held in Trento, Italy, in August 2000. The second conference will be held in the summer of 2002, at a location that is still to be decided. In the meantime, researchers in the field of Adaptive Hypermedia are continuing to invent, study and evaluate new adaptive hypermedia techniques and applications. The Third Workshop on Adaptive Hypertext and Hypermedia provides a forum for these researchers to present and discuss their work, and to identify topics and areas for possible collaboration.
Adaptive hypermedia includes a wide variety of research topics.
The list of topics is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list for the workshop. Both sessions together form a single workshop, with a single program committee and proceedings. Experience with the ASUM99 workshop has shown that this leads to an interesting mix of participants and ideas. The workshop will run for one half day before the User Modeling conference and one full day before the Hypertext'01 conference. The number of attendees for both sessions will be limited to 20-25 in order to encourage participation in workshop discussions.
