Dear all,
Many colleagues just came back from UM 2003 and HCI 2003 conferences, and they
have asked of the possibility of extending the submission deadline for the
edited volume "Adaptable and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems". After careful
consideration, we decided to extend the deadline for the submission of chapter
proposals to July 10, 2003. Please see the call below or at
http://www.brunel.ac.uk/~csstsyc/book.html. for more details.
Best wishes,
Sherry Y. Chen and George D. Magoulas

CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS
Submission Deadline: July 10, 2003
Adaptable and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems
A book edited by Dr. Sherry Y. Chen and Dr. George D. Magoulas, Brunel
University, UK
Introduction
As one of the most recent developments in information technology, hypermedia
systems have offered a significant contribution to the delivery of e-content
through the Internet. However, not all types of users have the capability to
develop navigation paths by themselves. Many studies have found that individual
differences had significant effects on information seeking in hypermedia
systems. Users with different characteristics and backgrounds need different
types of content and navigation support. Thus, adaptable and adaptive hypermedia
systems have emerged in the last decade. Research community in this area is
constantly expanding, and we have reached a point in time where research works
have mushroomed and matured. We need a self-contained book to demonstrate the
fruit of our research.
The Overall Objective of the Book
The proposed book aims to provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art
adaptable and adaptive hypermedia approaches, covering both their theories and
applications in areas such as search engines, e-commerce, e-learning, and
digital libraries. It will cover many issues in the field, providing insight
into analytical and architectural aspects of adaptive web-based systems, as well
as applications in real world settings.
The Target Audience
The book will be useful to professionals and academic researchers working in
various areas, such as customisation and personalization, human-computer
interaction, multimedia information systems, web-based technology, artificial
intelligence and machine learning, and intelligent databases. Moreover, it will
provide a source of reference and a guide for students working on relevant
projects.
Topics of interest may focus on, but are not restricted to:
Ø Hypermedia
§ Human Factors
§ Metaphors and Navigation
§ Hypermedia Authoring
§ User Centered Evaluation
Ø Adaptive Hypermedia
§ Methods and Techniques for Customization and Personalization
§ User Modeling in Adaptive Hypermedia
§ Database Technologies in Adaptive Hypermedia
§ Adaptive Learning Environments
§ Customization and Personalization in Electronic Commerce
§ Personalization in Digital Libraries
§ Individualized Search Engines
§ Evaluation Criteria and Methods
§ Privacy
Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to send on or before July 1, 2003, a
completed author form with a 600-800 word manuscript proposal organized in
sections as follows: aim, main methodology, results, and significance of the
contribution. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by August 1, 2003
about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines.
Full chapters are expected to be submitted by October 1, 2003. All submitted
chapters will be reviewed on a blind review basis. The book is scheduled to be
published by Idea Group, Inc., publisher of the "Idea Group Publishing,"
"Information Science Publishing," and "IRM Press" imprints in 2004. Inquiries
and submissions can be forwarded electronically (MS-Word document format or RTF)
