Call for Workshop Proposals

=======================================


ACM Hypertext 2013 will be running half-day workshops, taking place on 
May 1st, before the start of the main conference. The purpose of the 
workshops is to provide a more informal setting where participants can 
exchange ideas on a focused topic and suggest directions for future 
research. As such, they also offer a good opportunity for researchers to 
present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community.

Acceptance of workshop proposals will be based on the experience and 
background of the organizers in the topic, and on the relevance of the 
subject matter with regard to the topics addressed in the main 
conference. Potential proposers are invited to discuss their ideas with 
the workshop chair before working out a detailed proposal.

The deadline for submitting proposals will be November 23rd, 2012. All 
workshop proceeedings will be published in the ACM DL.
