Theme

Submissions are sought for a special edition for the Hypermedia Systems theme of JoDI on Spatial Hypermedia.

Spatial hypertext emerged due to the limitations of expression and communication of relationships between documents via explicit links. Since then, numerous spatial hypertext systems, applications, and analyses have been presented in the four workshops on spatial hypertext and in the spatial hypertext track at ACM Hypertext Conferences.

This special issue will bring together papers on spatial hypertext theories, design, systems, applications, and experiences.

Expected topics include:
  • Spatial hypertext systems
  • User experience with spatial hypertext
  • Spatial hypertext applications
  • Collaboration and spatial hypertext
  • Multimedia in spatial hypertext
  • Adaptive spatial hypertext
  • Integrating spatial hypertext with other hypertext frameworks and other software environments generally.
  • Communication and expression in spatial hypertext
  • Rhetoric issues posed by spatial hypertext

Submission

Authors should submit their papers electronically using the submission form. Selecting the title or editor for this issue from the Theme or Editor drop-down box will alert the editor to your submission automatically.

Before submitting please take note of the journal's Guidelines for submission: notes for authors. There is no fixed length for submissions, but papers should be self-contained. Authors are encouraged to leverage the online nature of JoDI in developing submissions that optimally illustrate the issues raised in papers. Authors who wish to submit a paper with unusual features are requested to contact the Special issue Editors prior to submission.

All submissions will be subject to peer review. Authors of accepted papers will be notified in July, 2005 and they will then be able to modify their papers, with a deadline for the receipt of the final version of the paper by 5th August, 2005.
