New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia 2000
on the themes of
spatial hypermedia
and
time-based hypermedia
NRHM is a refereed annual review journal covering research on practical
and theoretical developments in hypermedia, interactive multimedia and
related technologies. Issues (normally 10-12 papers) review and explore
one or two topical themes from diverse perspectives.
The themes for the 2000 issue of NRHM will be:
- Spatial hypermedia
Guest editors Chaomei Chen and Frank Shipman
- Time-based hypermedia
Guest editor Lynda Hardman
Papers should be submitted to the appropriate theme editors.
Initial submissions for reviewing can follow any common machine readable
format.
For final submissions, see Instructions to Authors at
http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/~NRHM/
or http://www.taylorgraham.com/journals/nrhypnotes.html
Submission deadline: 1st April 2000
Acceptance notification: 1st July 2000
Final manuscripts due: 1st October 2000
Publication date: Late 2000

Scope:
Hypertext is the presentation of text (and other media) in different
contexts. Navigational links are one way to modify the context of
information but recent systems have explored the use of space as an
alternative method for providing different contexts for text.
These spatial hypertexts are providing new methods for authoring,
locating, and interpreting information.
The purpose of this special issue of NRHM is to present articles which,
when taken together, demonstrate the range and depth of research
addressing issues related to how spatial interfaces and metaphors can
be used in hypertext applications. These articles may survey general
areas of research or may focus on specific new approaches or research
results. In particular submitted papers may cover any of the following
areas (or others related to spatial hypertext):
- Spatial hypertext designs and systems
- Experiences with spatial hypertexts
- Authoring spatial hypertexts
- Navigation in spatial hypertexts
- Adaptivity in spatial hypertexts
- User-interface design for spatial hypertexts
- Cognitive issues in development
- Interconnecting different spatial hypertexts
- Evaluations of spatial hypertexts
- Maintenance and/or reuse in spatial hypermedia
- Applications of spatial hypertext
- Perceptual structures in hypertexts
- Theory and rhetorics of spatial hypertexts
- Communication and coordination with spatial information
- Visualisation of complex information spaces via hypertext
Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically to either Guest
Editor at the e-mail addresses above. There is no formal
length limit for articles, but authors who wish to submit a long
article should contact the guest editor prior to submission.

The navigation paradigm has achieved common-place status through the
ubiquity
of the World Wide Web. The documents viewed by most people tend, however, to
be of a static nature, that is, their contents do not vary with time. The
determining characteristic of multimedia presentations is that their content
does vary with time. This means that the available links change while the
user is viewing the presentation. This can lead to confusion for the viewer
and needs to be handled both by the author and the presentation system.
In time-based hypermedia, linking facilities need to be fully integrated
into
the dynamic flow of the multimedia presentation, e.g. what does it mean to
"backtrack" in multimedia?
Links can be created to and from single media items (e.g. from a video to a
piece of text) but the problem of creating links from and to groups of
temporally related media items has long been signalled in the literature,
but
no commonly accepted solution has yet been proposed.
Full integration of linking among and within multimedia presentations
remains
a challenge and we wish to solicit papers that address core problems in this
area and propose novel solutions. While we welcome papers on all aspects of
this area, we provide some key phrases that cover the breadth of the
possible
topics.
- Time-based hypermedia document models
- Document languages for time-based hypermedia
- Authoring systems for time-based hypermedia
- Presentation systems for time-based hypermedia
- Navigation in time-based hypermedia applications
- User studies of time-based hypermedia applications
- Development methodologies for time-based hypermedia applications
- Theory of communication with time-based hypermedia
- Linking rhetorics for time-based media and multimedia
- Hyperfiction exploring the use of time-based media/hypermedia
- Relationship of time within hyperfiction with hypermedia
- Use of time, space and linking within time-based hypermedia applications
Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically to the Guest
Editor at the e-mail addresses above. There is no formal
length limit for articles, but authors who wish to submit a long
article should contact the guest editor prior to submission.
