CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
NEW REVIEW OF HYPERMEDIA AND MULTIMEDIA 1999
ON THE THEMES OF
HYPERMEDIA DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
AND
OPEN HYPERMEDIA SYSTEMS
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 1999 issue of NRHM will be:
- Hypermedia design and development
Guest editor David Lowe
- Open hypermedia systems
Guest editor Kaj Gronbaek
Papers should be submitted to the appropriate theme editors.
For Instructions to Authors, see http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/~NRHM/ or
contact the Editor.
Submission deadline: 1st April 1999
Acceptance notification: 1st August 1999
Final manuscripts due: 1st October 1999
Publication date: Late 1999

Scope:
As evidenced by the recent explosion of interest in the World Wide Web,
the application of hypermedia concepts and technologies is growing at a
rapid rate, especially in terms of scope and complexity. Despite this,
the
development of hypermedia applications - such as websites - is typically
ad hoc and poorly managed. The consequences are that results are often
poor quality, difficult to maintain and excessively expensive to
produce,
particularly with respect to the effective utilisation of hypertext
functionality.
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 we can more effectively develop
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 hypermedia development):
- Design methodologies and/or models
- Frameworks for design
- Experiences in design
- Development processes and models
- Authoring environments
- User-interface design for hypermedia
- Cognitive issues in development
- Hypertext specification and specification languages
- Maintenance and/or reuse in hypermedia applications
- Hypertext patterns
- Development and/or design tools
- Hypermedia applications evaluation metrics and/or methods
- Distributed application development
- Application evolution
- Scoping of applications
Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically to the Guest
Editor, David Lowe, at the e-mail address 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.

Scope:
Open hypermedia system (OHS) research addresses the issues of supporting
users with hypermedia as a seamless integrated feature of their working
environment. This involves integrating hypermedia functionality with
existing applications and document formats in a heterogeneous computing
environment. An open hypermedia system is a kind of "middleware" in the
computing environment offering hypermedia functionality to existing and
future applications via a standardized communication protocol
independent
of document formats. Thus open hypermedia services make arbitrary
applications "hypermedia enabled". Open hypermedia functionality
includes
support for hypermedia structuring such as linking into and from
material
managed by applications without altering the material itself. Open
hypermedia research, however, goes beyond linking and investigates new
types of hypermedia structuring mechanisms that can be applied to
existing
and forthcoming applications. Open hypermedia research also covers
authoring and collaboration issues where information is produced and
structured as part of collaboration in groups. Finally, open hypermedia
research addresses distribution aspects of hypermedia structures as well
as content. For example, integration of open hypermedia services in the
WWW environment is an important area of research.
The purpose of this special issue of NRHM is to present articles which,
when taken together, explore the state of the art in open hypermedia
research. We wish to solicit papers on all aspects of open hypermedia:
- Reference models, frameworks and system architectures
- Interoperability standards and protocols
* Applications of OHS in specific application domains
* Scenarios for novel OHS application domains
- Development methods for open hypermedia applications
* Integration of open hypermedia in the WWW
* Integration of multimedia data such as video, sound and
animations
- Presentation and user interface issues
- Collaboration support for OHS
- Distribution support for OHS
- OHS support for novel hypermedia concepts and structures
- Open hypermedia databases
Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically to the Guest
Editor, Kaj Gronbaek, at the e-mail address 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.
