(together with the International Conference on Software Engineering, ICSE=
'98)
Kyoto, Japan, April 20 th.

The V workshop on incorporating Hypertext Functionality into
software systems (HTF5) is the central international forum for both
researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and work results at
the intersection of hypertext and software engineering. To expand on
the success of the previous three workshop meetings, held in
conjunction with Hypertext conferences in 1994, 1996, and 1997, two
HTF workshops are planned for April 1998: HTF5 in conjunction with the
International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE'98) in Kyoto,
Japan, and HTF4 associated with WWW7 in Brisbane, Australia. Workshop
attendance at HTF is by invitation only, based on a submitted paper.
Most existing and future information systems need to know about hypertext=
,
whether in order to execute on the Internet or Intranet, to
operate in a distributed environment, or to allow its users
point-and-click navigation. We are, therefore, required to augment
with hypertext functionality the myriad of today's personal,
scientific, and business systems, which were not designed with
hypertext in mind. Furthermore, developers may not have sufficient
working knowledge of hypertext and hypermedia to augment currently
available systems. For users to benefit from hypertext functionality
(for example, by using or linking to WWW applications), it must be
incorporated into information systems that are in everyday use.Designers
and developers must accomplish this with minimal effort as
well as unobtrusively, i.e., applications should still be able to
perform their regular, originally intended functionality. Thus we are
not building standalone hypertext systems; rather we incorporate
hypertext capabilities into other types of systems. For many of these
systems, hypertext must be integrated so seamlessly that users are
unaware of its presence.
HTF5 focuses on the value added to a system by hypertext and
hypermedia support capabilities as well as the actual process of embeddin=
g
hypertext functions into non-hypertext information systems.
The main theme for this workshop is engineering hypertext
functionality, i.e., various aspects of constructing hypertext
capabilities. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to,
the following:
=B7 Design and construction of hypertext functionality
=B7 Incorporation of hypertext features into non-hypertext systems
=B7 Evaluating usability and utility of the resulting augmented syst=
em
=B7 Using multimedia information in software systems
=B7 Software architectures that support/enable hypertext functionali=
ty
=B7 Design patterns for hypertext functionality
=B7 Interplay between hypertext and object-oriented software
=B7 Evolution and maintenance of software systems that include hyper=
text
functionality
=B7 Metrics and measurements for hypertext functionality
Participation
Participation in HTF5 is ideally limited to no more than 20 researchers a=
nd
practitioners, representing a cross-section of interest from the hypertex=
t,
software engineering and MIS communities. Participation is by invitation,
based on submission of a position paper to the program chairs. Selection
for participation will be based primarily on the quality and relevance of
submitted position statements, as recommended by the program committee.
Submission, Acceptance, and Publication
A position statement (extended abstract) must be sent to one or both
program chairs listed below. Position papers must be no more than three
pages in length, excluding figures and references, and should be submitte=
d
in ASCII, HTML, or postscript/pdf format. Electronic submission of papers
is required, preferably as HTML or by electronic mail. All submissions mu=
st
be accompanied with an email message to alert both program chairs. It is
intended for all position papers to be made available on the WWW in advan=
ce
as well as distributed in binders at the workshop. HTML versions of
accepted papers are therefore required.
