1.7 Further reading
The classic introductory paper to Hypermedia (even though it is a bit dated) is [Conklin(1987)]. A more modern survey is [Tomek et al.(1991)]. An excellent general book on Hypermedia is [Nielsen(1995)], while [Buford-Koegel(1994)] is more dedicated to matters of standards and technical details. A modified version of the classic paper on Gopher is [McCahill and Anklesaria(1995)], on WWW [Berners-Lee et al.(1992), Berners-Lee et al.(1994)]. The first major exposition of design issues of Hyper-G is [Kappe(1991)], while [Andrews et al.(1994)] is a short summary of why Hyper-G is a second-generation system. Some of the historically earliest and most influential contributions are [Bush(1986)] and [Nelson(1987)].
To keep up-to-date it is important to follow a number of pertinent international annual or biannual conferences, such as ACM Hypertext (USA), ECHT (Europe), ED-MEDIA (rotating between USA/Canada and Europe), WebNet, Internet, WWW conferences and the yearly Gopher Conference, just to mention a few. There are also a number of journals that deal regularly with hypermedia issues, such as Hypermedia, J.UCS (Journal of Universal Computer Science), Multimedia Systems, J.NCA (Journal for Network and Computer Applications, formerly J.MCA, Journal for Micro Computer Applications), again to just list a few examples.
