A paper by Associate Professor Kenneth Anderson, along with
Frank Allan Hansen and
Niels Olof Bouvin of the University of Aarhus, won the
Douglas Engelbart Best Paper Award
at Hypertext 2006 held recently in
Odense, Denmark.
The Seventeenth International ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia:
Tools for Supporting Social Structures focused specifically on tools that help
to represent, model and interact with social structures, including cultural,
literary, linguistic, and other types of social structures.
The paper was titled Templates and Queries in Contextual Hypermedia and
"presents a new definition of context for context-aware computing based on a
model that relies on dynamic queries over structured objects. This new model
enables developers to flexibly specify the relationship between context and
context data for their context-aware applications. We discuss a framework,
HyConSC, that implements this model and describe how it can be used to build
new contextual hypermedia systems. Our framework aids the developer in the
iterative development of contextual queries (via a dynamic query browser)
and offers support for context matching, a key feature of contextual
hypermedia. We have tested the framework with data and sensors taken from
the HyCon contextual hypermedia system and are now migrating HyCon to this
new framework."
The Douglas Engelbart Best Paper Award is given to the best paper presented at
the annual ACM SIGWEB Hypertext Conference. The award is named after
Douglas Engelbart, in recognition of his life's work and
contributions to the field of hypertext and hypermedia.
