AH 2008

The Adaptive Hypermedia conferences are the major forums for the scientific exchange and presentation of research on adaptive hypermedia and adaptive Web-based systems. This year's fifth edition of the conference will be organized by the L3S Research Center in the city of Hannover, Germany.

The 2008 conference is momentous, as it represents the marriage of the Adaptive Hypermedia and User Modeling communities, both of which are major sponsors.
