AH2004: International Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-based Systems

Submission deadline: June 1st, 2004

The AH conferences are the major forums for the scientific exchange and presentation of research on adaptive hypermedia and adaptive web-based systems.

The sessions of the Industry Track at AH2004, 23-26 August 2004 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, targets practitioners in adaptive hypermedia and adaptive web-based systems. The track aims at bringing together users of adaptive hypermedia and web-based technology to exchange their experience with each other and with potential users who want to evaluate the applicability of this technology in their company. The Industry Track facilitates the exchange of hands-on experience on how to develop and utilize adaptive technology for e-business, e-learning and other data-intensive applications. Participants can present, discuss and explore their new ideas, work in progress and project developments in the area of adaptive hypermedia and web-based systems. The Industry Track contains regular sessions in which participants can present and demonstrate their work and ideas, and will be ended with an Industry Panel.

We are now soliciting proposals for participation in the Industry Track.

Submission format

The format for participation in the Industry Track is that at the conference participants get a slot of app. 30 minutes to present their work, demonstrate software (optional), and answer questions. The presentations should describe the business problem, the approach used along with possible alternatives, the current state of the project, an evaluation of the benefits, and future developments.

Before the conference participants are required to provide a 2-page paper on what they want to present and/or demonstrate.

Note that AH2004 offers the possibility to host an interactive demo, which distinguishes itself from the regular demo by the fact that it is performed in rooms with computers, where each demo member can try out him/herself the demonstrated software or method (see the separate call for interactive demo).

All proposals for participation in the Industry Track should be emailed to the Industry Track co-chairs at the following email addresses:

If accepted, this 2-page paper will be published as part of the AH2004 industry track and workshop proceedings and on the AH2004 website.
