Jon Kleinberg is second invited speaker at HT08
It is great news to hear that Hypertext 2008 has announced that Prof. Jon Kleinberg from Cornell University will be the second invited speaker. Those in the hypertext community will know Jon from his seminal work on the HITS algorithm of finding hubs and authorities for searching. He's also done work with social networking and has created search algorithms and trying to identify communities on the web (of which my PhD work is related to as well).
More information on Jon Kleinberg is here:
Jon Kleinberg is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at
Cornell University. His research interests are centered around issues
at the interface of networks and information; in his recent work, he has
focused on the social processes that underpin large, decentralized
information systems.
Kleinberg is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the recipient of MacArthur,
Packard, and Sloan Foundation Fellowships, the Nevanlinna Prize from
the International Mathematical Union, and the National Academy of
Sciences Award for Initiatives in Research.

Hotel reservation for Hypertext 2008
The hotel reservation site for Hypertext 2008 is now open: http://www.sigweb.org/ht08/accomodations.html
We reserved a very small block of rooms at the Hypertext 2008 conference hotel, Omni William Penn. Please, book your room early if you want to stay there. Note also that some other large event will be happening in Pittsburgh right after hypertext 2008 and, with hundreds of people arriving in advance, other downtown hotels may not be easily available.
We also ask you to consider room sharing. Not only $78 is a better deal than $156, but it will allow us to host more delegates at the main conference hotel.
If you are a student, you may want to consider a student dorm accommodation. Dorms are located in Oakland, the most attractive area of the city, the home to Carnegie Mellon, University of Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Museums, etc. It is just 15-20 min bus ride to downtown with buses running every 5-10 min depending on the time of the day. The information is also provided on the accommodation page.

Student Research Competition at Hypertext 2008
Hypertext 2008 will be participating in the ACM Student Research Competition sponsored by Microsoft Research. The SRC, which is held at select ACM conferences, will provide an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students attending Hypertext 2008 to receive a $500 travel grant from Microsoft Research to present their research at Hypertext 2008. All invited students will compete in a conference competition for the best presentations, with the winners eligible for a spot in the SRC Grand Finals. The SRC is a valuable opportunity for students to participate in Hypertext 2008 and to receive recognition from ACM for the quality of their research.
The Hypertext 2008 SRC consists of two rounds: a poster session and a presentation session. A panel of judges will select a number of finalists from the poster session, who will be invited to the presentation session. Winners are selected from the presentation session. The top three graduate and undergraduate winners will receive cash awards.
The Hypertext 2008 SRC winners will be invited to participate in the SRC Grand Finals, an online round of competitions among the winners of individual conference-hosted SRCs. The winners of the Grand Finals are invited to the ACM awards banquet together with their advisors, for an all-expenses-paid trip.
