Welcome to the workshop on Narrative and Hypertext at the ACM Hypertext Conference 2013 in Paris on the 1st May at the ACM ECRC in the Palais des congres de Paris in Room 342B. The Palais des congres de Paris is conveniently located in the 17th arrondissement and directly above the Porte Maillot Metro station.

The work accepted into the workshop has been arranged and the plan for the morning made. These can be found on the proceedings and programme pages above.

This workshop aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum to bring together individuals from the humanities and science communities to share research and discuss state-of-the-art research on narrative from both a technical and aesthetic perspective. The workshop covers a range of topics from Hypertext Narrative Systems, to Hypertext Narrative and The Humanities.

The workshop itself will include two sessions of presentations from authors, with an open discussion session at the end to give attendees on the day the opportunity to discuss important issues raised during the day or related to the area.

The deadline for the workshop has been extended again by a couple of days, due to delays in conference notification, to allow a week between the two dates. The deadline is now Wednesday 13th February, there will be no further extensions. As such the notification and camaera ready dates have also been pushed back to 27th of February and 10th of March respectively.

The deadline for the workshop has been extended by a week to Monday 11th February. As such the notification and camaera ready dates have also been pushed back by a week to 25th of February and 8th of March respectively.

Welcome to the site for the Narrative and Hypertext Workshop at the ACM Hypertext 2013 conference in Paris. The Workshop is currently accepting paper submissions for presentations at the workshop. The workshop will be held on 1st May 2013 and submissions are due 4th February 2013.

This workshop aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum to bring together individuals from the humanities and science communities to share research and discuss state-of-the-art research on narrative from both a technical and aesthetic perspective. It follows on from the very successful narrative workshops at HT2011 (the largest workshop in the conference) and HT2012 which kickstarted a number of collaborations and subsequent meetings (for example, see the websites strangehypertext.org and fractalnarratives.org). This year's workshop will principally build upon these previous successes, and aims to consolidate this fledgling community.

Narrative is a prevalent form of information common in our entertainment, communication, and understanding of the world and its events. By building better models of narrative along with methods for generation, adaption, and presentation we enable narrative systems to become more effective but also improve our understanding of narrative structures.

There is a growing community of researchers working on narrative systems, hypertext narratives, and machine readable narrative models for which this workshop seeks to act as a hub to review advances and events over the previous year as well as, looking forward to what the field can achieve in the coming year.

The co-location of Hypertext with ACM Web Science and ACM CHI offers opportunities to extend this community. Some of the crucial conclusions of the previous years have been focussed on the interdisciplinary difficulty of connecting creatives with technologists, as well as the technical and design challenges in creating methods of interaction with narrative from the perspective of both authors and audience.

These two challenges: narrative in interdisciplinary research, and narrative and interaction, will form the core focus of this year's workshop.

This workshop aims to support this work, including the linking documents (adaptive hypertext and narrative connections) track in the hypertext conference itself, by providing an open interdisciplinary forum of discussion on key issues facing the field.

The workshop seeks to discuss:

• Models of Narrative
• Systems for the Presentation of Narratives
• Adaptive and Personalised Narratives
• Narrative Analysis
• Narrative Generation
• Narrative as a method of Knowledge Capture
• Social Media as Narrative
• Narrative as a lens on identity
• Argumentation and Rhetoric
• Interactive Fiction
• Cinematic Hypertext
• Authorial support systems
• e-Literature
• Strange Hypertext
• Interaction and Narrative
• Interdisciplinary collaboration on narrative
