CFP: WWW2006

WWW2006 CALL FOR PAPERS
Fifteenth International World Wide Web
Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 22nd-26th 2006.
http://www2006.org/
The technical program will include refereed paper presentations, special interest tracks, plenary
sessions, panels, and poster sessions. Tutorials and workshops will run before and throughout the conference. A Developers track, devoted to in-depth technical sessions designed specifically for web developers, will run in parallel throughout the conference.
The conference will also be running a programme of high-level, non-technical presentations for professionals in media, government, education and commerce to inform and debate the issues relating to the latest Web technology developments.
REFEREED PAPERS TRACK
WWW2006 seeks original papers describing research in all areas of the web. Topics include but are not limited to:
# E* Applications: E-Communities, E-Learning, E-Commerce, E-Science, E-Government and E-Humanities
# Browsers and User Interfaces
# Data Mining
# Hypermedia and Multimedia
# Performance, Reliability and Scalability
# Pervasive Web and Mobility
# Search
# Security, Privacy, and Ethics
# Semantic Web
# Web Engineering
# XML and Web Services
# Industrial Practice and Experience (Alternate track)
# Developing Regions (Alternate track)
Detailed descriptions of each of these tracks appear at
http://www2006.org/tracks/
Submissions should present original reports of substantive new work. Papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference.
New for WWW2006: We solicit submissions of “position papers” articulating high-level architectural visions, describing challenging
future directions, or critiquing current design wisdom. Accepted position papers will be presented at the conference and appear in the
proceedings. Both “regular papers” and “position papers” are subject to the same rigorous reviewing process, but the emphasis may differ
— regular papers should present significant reproducible results while position papers may present preliminary work rich in implications for future research.
All papers will be peer-reviewed by reviewers from an International Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and will also be accessible to the general public via
http://www2006.org/. Authors of all accepted papers will be required to transfer copyright to the IW3C2.
POSTERS
Posters provide a forum for late-breaking research, and facilitate feedback in an informal setting. Posters are peer-reviewed. The poster
area provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent web-related research, and to
obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. It gives conference attendees a way to learn about innovative works in progress
in a timely and informal manner. Formatting and submission requirements are available at http://www2006.org/posters/.
TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS
A program of tutorials will cover topics of current interest to web design, development, services, operation, use, and evaluation. These
half and full-day sessions will be led by internationally recognized experts and experienced instructors using prepared content.
Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, leaders, and practitioners to explore current web R&D issues through a more
focused and in-depth manner than is possible in a traditional conference session. Participants typically present position statements and hold in-depth discussions with their peers within the workshop setting. For more information and submission details see http://www2006.org/workshops/.
PANELS
Panels provide an interactive forum that will engage both panelists and the audience in lively discussion of important and often controversial issues. For more information and submission details see http://www2006.org/panels/.
