organize the 11th edition of H2PTM "Hypertexts and Hypermedia, Products, Tools and Methods" international conference.

OBJECTIVES

In the tradition of previous editions, the 11th conference H2PTM 2011 will bring together at the 12th, 13th and 14th of October 2011 in the university Paul Verlaine-Metz the French and international researchers to discuss last results of research and development of hypertexts and hypermedia tools in varied fields. Faithful to its multidisciplinarity's tradition, the conference will confront researchs resulting from information and communication sciences, computer sciences, semiotics, art' and cognitive sciences.

2011 edition has selected for main objective to approach researchs on hypertexts and hypermedia which are able to face the multiple challenges from current development of digital technologies and their uses, in particular in the following fields:

Decentralized, collaborative and geolocalized applications;
Intelligent Web;
Digital identities and virtual networks;
Digital documents;
Digital games;
Critical approaches of hypermedia.

Indeed, the current evolution of hypermedia raises questions which cross various approaches (sometimes in interaction):

Technical one: mobile and composite applications, virtual ambient environments;
Social one: increasing "hypertextualization" of communicational practices (on line publishing, interpersonal exchanges.), new virtual dimension of sociability;
Informational one: ollaborative and hypertextual writings, information retrieval (via the social or participative web.), participative "documentarization", collaborative indexing;
Cultural one: new kinds of games (serious games, pervasive games.), "patrimonialization" process, esthetics (webdesign, 3D interfaces.), interculturality;
Epistemological one: how to think the digital age today? According to which new theoretical frameworks (in particular in social sciences)?

Lastly, we also wish to strengthen the opening to international researchs on hypertexts and hypermedia for this 2011 edition, in particular with invited speakers, but also by requesting the participation of cross-border networks working on hypermedia tools or fields.

The H2PTM conference targets a public of researchers and students, but also of professionals (industrial, designers, editors.) concerned by a current and future state of the art on hypertexts and hypermedia systems and their social uses.

ORGANIZATION

H2PTM 2011 conference will include two types of sessions in parallel:
