Hypermedia conference proceedings

Abstract

Conference proceedings like many other documents are increasingly converted from hardcopy to online. This trend is being accelerated by the recent development of the World Wide Web. The article summarizes the online, hypermedia proceedings of the recent conference, INET'95. The online document, called hypermedia proceedings was developed in the very short time of three months with a multi national collaborative effort. The hypermedia proceedings were made available for access two months prior to the conference date. This allowed people to read the papers and comment on them before they came to the conference. The hypermedia proceedings server even read the abstracts for the user using natural or artificial voices.
