Call for Papers

WWW 2012

16-20 April 2012, Lyon, France

 

Industrial Practice and Experience track

--------------------------------------------

The Industrial Practice and Experience track serves as a forum for high
quality papers reporting on the more practical issues and experiences
encountered when building large scale Web-based systems that are deployed to
a large number of users. As such, the Industrial Practice and Experience
invites submissions reporting research and development of actual systems and
the experiences encountered when deploying to large scale user base.
Articles should be written in a scientific rather than sales style if a
product is described. Demonstrations (when appropriate) are encouraged as
part of the submission (via a URL to the actual system or a recording of its
use).

Topics of interest include (but are by no means limited to) the following :

 

Surviving a cloud outage

Applications of Web for All, Web access beyond the first billion

Search Based Applications

Big Data Applications

Scaling down to mobile applications

Large scale entity extraction applications

Online Advertising applications

Web mining, web scraping applications

Filtering spam from applications
