        ACM HyperText 2000
	May 30 - June 4
        San Antonio, Texas
	http://www.ht00.org/

The HT 2000 conference is the eleventh ACM conference on hypertext and
hypermedia. The conference will provide a forum where delegates can
present, exchange and discuss original ideas and exciting experiences
relating to hypermedia (objects, links, paths, spaces, time,
collections, navigational aids, etc.) and the use of hypermedia concepts
and technologies in special domains (e.g., authoring, publishing,
human-computer interaction, digital libraries, electronic literature,
computer-supported cooperative work, databases, operating systems,
software engineering, education, and global information systems such as
the WWW, etc.).

The Hypertext 2000 conference will run back-to-back with the ACM Digital
Libraries conference, starting with Hypertext 2000 from May 30th to June
3rd, and continuing with Digital Libraries from June 2nd to June 7th.
Both conferences are held in the attractive Menger Hotel in San Antonio,
Texas. The conference URLs where you can find details of the entire
programmes can be found at http://www.ht00.org/  and
http://www.dl00.org/
