===================================
The 2008 International Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive
Web-Based Systems (AH2008) will take place in Hannover, Germany,
hosted by the L3S Research Center, following the successful previous
conferences in Dublin, Ireland (2006), Eindhoven, the Netherlands
(2004), Malaga, Spain (2002), Trento (2000).
The 2008 conference is momentous, as it represents the marriage of
the Adaptive Hypermedia and User Modeling communities, both of which
are major sponsors.
We invite submissions in the fields of Adaptive Hypermedia systems
and techniques, Web personalization, adaptive information filtering
and retrieval, intelligent tutoring systems, semantic Web,
applications of adaptive hypermedia and empirical studies of AH and
Web systems.
