HT

Welcome to the 33rd ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media (HT 2022). HT is a premium venue for high quality peer reviewed research on hypertext theory, systems and applications. It is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research including social media, semantic web, dynamic and computed hypertext and hypermedia as well as narrative systems and applications.

For the first time in the history of the conference, ACM Hypertext 2022 was organized as a hybrid event, with the opportunity for speakers and attendees to participate onsite or online. With the help of our Local chairs (Cristian Consonni and Mihnea Tufis,) and Streaming & Broadcasting chairs (Walter Anelli, Lesly Miculicich, Lorena Recalde, and Mete Sertkan) this new format was more manageable and ran smoothly. Moreover, ACM HT 2022 is co-located with the ACM WebSci 2022 and the ACM UMAP 2022, both happening in Barcelona a few days before and after the conference.

This year's conference was organized according to the following tracks which aim at covering all the different aspects of modern hypertext research: Social Web content, language and networks (chair: Marcelo Armentano), Digital humanities, culture and society (chair: Jessica Rubart), Information exploration and visualisation (chair: Claus Atzenbeck), and Personalised recommender systems (chairs: Osnat "Ossi" Mokryn, Eva Zangerle, and Markus Zanker). The last track is a joint track between ACM Hypertext and ACM UMAP, where the same track chairs and overlapping Program Committee was used, another novelty of this edition.
