** INTRODUCTION

HUMAN'20 is the third workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext
conferences. It is sponsored by SIGWEB and affiliated with the
31st ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media. It has a strong
focus on the user and thus is complementary to the strong machine
analytics research direction that could be experienced in previous
conferences.

The user-centric view on hypertext not only includes user interfaces
and interaction, but also discussions about hypertext application
domains. Furthermore, the workshop raises the question of how original
hypertext ideas (e.g., Doug Engelbart's "augmenting human intellect" or
Frank Halasz' "hypertext as a medium for thinking and communication")
can improve today's hypertext systems.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that HT'20 is held virtually,
the HUMAN'20 workshop will take place online later in 2020. This will
make it easier for participants to follow both events HT'20 and
HUMAN'20. AS A SERVICE TO THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY, WE MAKE THE
PARTICIPATION IN THE HUMAN'20 WORKSHOP FREE TO ANYONE. For further
information see the workshop website and follow us on Twitter.


** SCOPE

Historically, hypertext is strongly connected to human factors. This
can be experienced by the early work provided by hypertext pioneers,
such as Doug Engelbart or Ted Nelson. However, recent hypertext
research focuses mostly on machine analytics. This workshop wants to
broaden the scope again by taking the human back into consideration. In
order to accomplish that, the workshop combines original hypertext ideas
with recent hypertext research trends. Furthermore, it tries to
consolidate different hypertext areas by looking at those from a human
factors viewpoint.

HUMAN also encourages to submit work that has an interdisciplinary
perspective. It targets both scientists and developers from various
research and business areas who consider a critical and open-minded
discussion of original hypertext ideas with the goal to identify and
solve today's hypertext challenges.

Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):

- Systems for augmenting human intellect
- User-centric hypertext systems
- User interfaces and interactions
- Cognitive aspects and hypertext
- Collaboration and hypertext
- Information structuring
- Hypertext used for human communication
- Hypertext and decision making
- Spatial hypertext
- Annotation services
- Organizing information
- Information structuring in digital humanities
- User perspectives in adaptive hypertext
- Social aspects of humans using hypertext
- Intercultural aspects in hypertext
