HUMAN ’22 is the fifth workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. 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.

HUMAN ’22 is a SIGWEB sponsored workshop and affiliated with the 33rd ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media, to which it shows many connections. It fosters the discussion about different hypertext domains and, more important, it explicitly combines original hypertext research ideas with recent hypertext research trends. Human factors are present in all tracks of Hypertext 2022. Thus, this workshop fosters cross-cutting discussions and the development of new ideas.

5th Workshop on Human Factors in Hypertext (HUMAN ’22)

Jessica Rubart Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences

HUMAN ’22 is the fifth workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. It is sponsored by SIGWEB and affiliated with the 33rd 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. In particular, human-centered artificial intelligence approaches in the hypertext context as well as humancentered intelligent information systems are relevant topics for this workshop.

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.

Recent hypertext research is strongly focused on machine analytics. We would like to broaden the scope again to include more research on human factors. Historically, hypertext research is strongly connected with human factors. Hypertext pioneers, such as Doug Engelbart or Ted Nelson, focused on human factors in hypertext, e.g., Doug Engelbart’s “augmenting human intellect” or Ted Nelson’s information structure “ZigZag”. This workshop combines original hypertext research ideas with recent hypertext research trends. In addition, the motivation is to consolidate different hypertext research areas from the viewpoint of human factors.

Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):

• Systems for augmenting human intellect • Human-centered (intelligent) information systems • Human-centered AI • User interfaces and interactions • Cognitive aspects and hypertext • Collaborative hypertext and social media • Hypertext used for human communication • Hypertext and decision making • Information structuring • 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

This year’s HUMAN keynote speaker is Luc P. Beaudoin, the cofounder of CogSci Apps Corp., CogZest and Somnolence+. He is also adjunct professor of Cognitive Science and of Education at Simon Fraser University. From an integrative design-oriented perspective, he has written two Cognitive Productivity books about using knowledge and hypertext to become profoundly effective, co-designed gStudy and nStudy, and designs the Hook productivity, and mySleepButton® apps. Luc has a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science on autonomous agency (Commonwealth Scholar) and is based in Metro-Vancouver, Canada.

Dr. Claus Atzenbeck holds a professor position at Hof Uni-

versity, Germany and is leading the Visual Analytics research

group at the university’s Institute of Information Systems. His research interests in the field of hypermedia include spatial and navigational structures, spatial and temporal parsing for spatial hypertexts, and component-based hypertext systems. A specific focus of his work is on intelligent user interfaces for visual analytics. Together with Dr. Jessica Rubart he was general co-chair of the 30th anniversary ACM Hypertext Conference in Hof, Germany. Dr. Jessica Rubart is professor for business information sys-

tems at the Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Germany. She has a strong industry background as software architect, project manager, system analyst, and software developer. Her main research areas are flexible information systems, hypertext, groupware and knowledge management as well as software engineering. She is an active member of the Hypertext community for years. She has been program co-chair of Hypertext and Hypermedia 2006 as well as Hypertext and Social Media 2016. Together with Dr. Claus Atzenbeck she was general co-chair of the 30th anniversary ACM Hypertext Conference in Hof, Germany.
