Anatomy of a conference

Published: 25 June 2012 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents an anatomy of Hypertext 2011 -- focusing on the dynamic and static behavior of the participants. We consider data collected by the CONFERATOR system at the conference, and provide statistics concerning participants, presenters, session chairs, different communities, and according roles. Additionally, we perform an in-depth analysis of these actors during the conference concerning their communication and track visiting behavior.
