    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/
