WWW2006 CALL FOR PAPERS

The International World Wide Web Conference Committee
(IW3C2) invite
you to participate in the Fifteenth International
World Wide Web
Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 22nd-26th
2006.

The first international WWW conference was held in
1994 at CERN where
the Web was born. Since then, the conference series
has been the
prime venue for both academics and industries to
present, demonstrate,
and discuss the latest ideas and developments about
the Web.

WWW2006 will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland at the
Edinburgh
International Conference Centre. 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.

See http://www2006.org/ for regular updates on
conference information.
WWW2006 is held in association with ACM, BCS, ECS and
W3C.


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/.
