We cordially invite you to participate at the Adaptive Hypermedia 2008 conference, from 29 July until 1 August in Hannover, Germany.

The Adaptive Hypermedia conferences are the major forums for the scientific exchange and presentation of research on adaptive hypermedia and adaptive Web-based systems. The 2008 conference is momentous, as it represents the marriage of the Adaptive Hypermedia and User Modeling communities.

Keynote speakers are Jan Borchers (RWTH Aachen University), Peter Brusilovsky (University of Pittsburgh) and John Riedl (University of Minnesota).

24 selected full papers will be presented at the conference, covering the following themes: collaboration and recommendation, user and learner models, empirical studies of AH, Web and e-learning systems, personalization techniques and location-based personalization.

Short papers and demos are presented at a poster reception with food and drinks. 11 Ph.D. students will present their research ideas at the Doctoral Consortium.

The following workshops will take place on the first day of Adaptive Hypermedia 2008:
* Adaptive Collaboration Support
* Adaptation for the Social Web
* Authoring of Adaptive and Adaptable Hypermedia
* Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage
* User Model Integration
* Technologies for Mobile and Wireless Adaptive Elearning Environments

Hannover is a pleasant, medium-sized city in the northern part of Germany.
The city is famous for its fairs, most importantly the annual CeBIT fair at which the latest technologies are presented. A major attraction is the historical Herrenhausen Garden.
