Hypertext
>From online documentation aboard aircraft carriers to distance 
learning degree programs to interactive entertainment, hypertext 
and hypermedia have transformed our world. The foremost 
international conference on hypertext and hypermedia, the 
International Hypertext conference brings together scholars, 
researchers, and practitioners from a diverse array of disciplines
--including computing, literature, law, art, medicine, business, 
journalism, philosophy, psychology, and engineering--to 
consider the form, role, and impact of hypertext and hypermedia. 
Hypertext 2002 will continue to provide a forum where attendees 
can exchange and discuss ideas on hypermedia, its design and 
use in a variety of domains, while also considering the ability of 
these technologies to alter the way we read, write, argue, learn, 
exchange information, or entertain ourselves.

Scope
Hypertext 2002 welcomes discussions from designers and 
users of hypermedia applications and works in academia, business, 
entertainment, and industry. Here attendees can discuss all aspects 
of hypermedia, ranging from navigational aids, time, and infrastructures 
to digital libraries, interactive literature, virtual and augmented reality 
environments, gaming, human-computer interaction, software 
engineering, computer-supported collaborative work, and, of course, 
the World Wide Web. Formats for presentation include papers, panels 
and technical briefings, short papers and posters, demonstrations, exhibits, 
courses, workshops, and a doctoral consortium.
