In the `70s Ted Nelson coined the term ``docuverse'' to describe a global network of interlinked and personalizable information. Now, two decades later, the docuverse is taking form. Graphics and computing technology now brings inexpensive hypermedia technology to everyone, and the World Wide Web is linking all those everyones together. Keynotes Randall H. Trigg, Xerox PARC Leigh Star, Department of Sociology, UIUC Technical Papers The latest research results in WWW development and use, Hypermedia documents, systems, models, concepts. Courses We are offering two days of courses prior to the conference. Topics include document design and critique, WWW basics, HMTL 3.0 and style sheets, Java for WWW applications, Notes from the Netscape Webmaster, educational use of hypermedia, legal issues, collaboration environments, HyTime, Hyper-G, and more. System Demos Working research systems will be demonstrated. Posters Short presentations of work in progress Workshops There are 4 pre-conference workshops in which researchers will meet to discuss developments in specific technical areas. Doctoral Consortium A workshop in which Ph.D. students will meet to discuss research topics and results, critique of the field overall By invitation, see the Web pages for details. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timetable Sat March 16 Courses and Workshops Sun March 17 Courses Mon March 18 Main conference program begins Tue March 19 Main conference program Wed March 20 program ends midday Digital Libraries '96 follows, starting Wed afternoon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For information Email to ht96-info@cs.unc.edu David Stotts (General Chair) Catherine Marshall (Program Chair) Department of Computer Science Hypermedia Research Lab University of North Carolina Department of Computer Science Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3175 Texas A&M University stotts@cs.unc.edu College Station, TX 77843-3112 phone: (919) 962-1833 marshall@bush.cs.tamu.edu fax: (919) 962-1799 phone: (409) 845-9980 fax: (409) 847-8578 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dbworld alias reaches many people, and should only be used for messages of general interest to the database community.

Kluwer Academic Publishers Announces... Information Retrieval Book Series Information Retrieval (IR) deals with access to unstructured information, both text and multimedia. It is part of both computer and information science, and is an essential component of the recent explosion of networked information services. The series will be the first collection of monographs, edited collections, and advanced texts to cover the many aspects of this field. The volumes in the series will be aimed at practitioners and researchers, including graduate students and advanced undergraduates. In order to publish material that is timely and reflects the state of the art, the series will focus on books of moderate length and relatively narrow scope. Possible topics include IR models, evaluation of IR systems, multimedia indexing and retrieval, IR and networks (including the Internet), digital libraries, natural language processing for IR, indexing and classification, information extraction, feedback and learning in IR, unstructured information and uncertainty in database systems, multilingual systems, hypertext, interfaces for information access, information visualization, and file organizations for text. Topics such as information policy, economics of information, and standards may also be appropriate. Prospective Authors: If you have an idea for a book which would fit in this series, we would welcome the opportunity to review your proposal. Should you wish to discuss any potential project further or receive specific information regarding our book proposal requirements, please contact either Bruce Croft or Scott Delman. Please enclose a short bio with your proposal.
