The ACM Hypertext conference is a premium venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on hypertext theory, systems, applications, publishing, artwork and related practices. It is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research including social and intelligent media, narrative systems and applications, authoring, reading and publishing hypertext, workflows and infrastructures as well as reflections and approaches.

All accepted contributions will be published by ACM and will be available in the Proceedings via the ACM Digital Library. Selected contributions will be invited to submit an expanded version after the conference to a special issue of the New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia.

Submissions are welcome in the following tracks:

Interactive Media: Art and Design Track chair Dr Sam Brooker (Richmond American University London, UK)

This track is dedicated to papers that explore creative expression through digital technology. Submissions may showcase new approaches to – or applications of – interactive media technology for creative expression, or evaluate existing work from a new perspective. Hybrid presentations that mix theory and practice are welcome, though work should be rooted in hypertext as method or approach. Topics include but not limited to: • Demonstrations: Live exhibition or exploration of a new or existing creative work. • Critical analysis: Reflection on or discussion of pre-existing works or theoretical approaches. • Traversals: Demonstrations performed on historically appropriate platforms, with participation and commentary by the authors of the works. • Interdisciplinary creative work: Evaluation or demonstration of creative work that crosses disciplinary boundaries

Authoring, Reading, Publishing Track chair Dr Leah Henrickson (University of Leeds, UK)

This track is dedicated to exploring how hypertext has transformed authoring, reading, and publishing by disrupting, subverting, or complementing book and media culture and practice. Submissions may focus on specific case studies or theories of new emerging practices, rhetorical analyses, or methodological reflections that take inspiration from fields such as book history, digital humanities and/or media studies. Topics include, but not limited to: • Authorship: Contextualising the production of hypertexts. • Book history: Historically-informed frameworks, theories, and concepts for understanding hypertextual production, dissemination, and reception. • Digital scholarly editions and adaptations: Hypertextual representations and reconceptualisations of extant texts. • Digital storytelling and electronic literature: How hypertexts are used to communicate ideas and facilitate alternative textual experiences. • Reading practices and reader response: How hypertexts are read (or not read) and interpreted. • Rhetorics and poetics: How hypertexts are framed in popular and scholarly discourse, as well as theoretical considerations on forms of expression supported by hypertextual formats. • Text, paratext, and multimodality: Manifestations and effects of digital forms of intra- and intertextual connectivity.,

Workflows and Infrastructures Track chair Dr Davide Picca (Université de Lausanne, CH)

This track is dedicated to hypertext systems and their professional applications to the GLAM field in order to facilitate access to cultural knowledge. The main purpose is to illustrate through the different contributions to the track, how STEM disciplines can help and support the preservation and dissemination of tangible and intangible cultural resources. This track welcomes contributions that present real-world applications of hypertext systems, with a focus on the benefits, challenges, and gaps that emerge from daily practice in fields of study such as (but not limited to) Digital Museology, Intangible Cultural Heritage applications and NLP approaches to cultural resources. Topics include, but not limited to: • Semantic knowledge: How formal ontologies and formal modelling can contribute to organise cultural knowledge • GLAM applications: Pipelines and digital curations for restoration and preservation of cultural artefacts • Digital Museology: Innovations, trends as well as practical c
