> 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
