ACM Hypertext 2011

The ACM Hypertext Conference is the main venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on hypermedia theory, systems and practices. (June 6-9, 2011 ~ Eindhoven Netherlands EU)
The Web, Semantic Web, Web 2.0, Social Networks and collaborative hypermedia environments are all manifestations of the success of hypermedia research. The Hypertext Conference provides the forum for all types of research concerning hypermedia such as: advanced structuring mechanisms, narratives and storytelling, system architectures, social tagging, context-aware and adaptive hypermedia as well as the knowledge that can be derived from analysis of effects of hypermedia on society.

Web2.0 Conference

Disruption & Opportunity (November 7-9, 2006 - San Francisco CA, USA)
The Web 2.0 Conference focuses on emerging business and technology developments that utilize the Web as a platform and defines how the Web will drive business in the future. Now that the Web has become a robust platform with countless innovations driving its ongoing development, widespread disruptions in traditional business models are well underway. But within the chaos of disruption lies the seeds of opportunity.

Int'l Symposium on Intelligent Environments

Improving the quality of life in a changing world (April 5-7, 2006: Cambridge, UK)
The symposium will bring together top researchers from a variety of disciplines, including artists, philosophers, computer scientists, designers and sociologists, to discuss and debate how intelligent environments can contribute to improving the quality of everyday life. We define 'Intelligent Environments' as those that seamlessly incorporate the thoughtful and insightful use of computer technology to improve and enrich everyday life. We want to promote discussions that take a completely fresh view of the interaction between society and technology; rethinking how computer technology should be used in the future to maximise the benefits to individuals and society.

FLAIRS 2004

User Modeling and HCI Approaches in Natural Language Generation (May 17-19, 2004 - Miami Beach, FL, USA)
"The goal of this special track is to bring together people working in user modeling and human-computer interaction with researchers in natural language generation. User modeling is relevant at all levels of the NLG process: content choice, text, sentence, phrase structure, and lexical choice. Aspects of the reader/listener that can influence NLG include affective state, cultural background, educational or experiential level, and age among many others. Although the gap between the HCI and NLG research communities has been wider than that between user modeling and NLG, a key concern of HCI is the role of user models in interface design and evaluation, including cognitive, affective, task-oriented, and sociological models of users. In addition, recent HCI research on intelligent and multimedia interfaces is bridging the gap. Therefore, this special track focuses on research exploring the connection between user modeling - from the perspective of the user modeling community or HCI - and NLG."

ESWS 2004

1st European Semantic Web Symposium (May 10, 2004 - Heraklion, Greece, EU)
"The vision of the Semantic Web is to enhance today's web via the exploitation of machine-processable meta data. The explicit representation of the semantics of data, accompanied with domain theories (ontologies), will enable a web that provides a qualitatively new level of service. It will weave together an incredibly large network of human knowledge and will complement it with machine processability. Various automated services will help the user achieve goals by accessing and providing information in machine-understandable form. This process may ultimately create extremely knowledgeable systems with various specialized reasoning services systems. Many technologies and methodologies are being developed within Artificial Intelligence, Human Language Technology, Machine Learning, Databases, Software Engineering and Information Systems that can contribute towards the realization of this vision."
