Tim Berners-Lee will answer questions about trends in Web technology and
Web Science. His Thursday keynote at WWW2008 will address the future of
Web applications. From the talk abstract:
"Web applications currently provide greater flexibility and more
effective human interface than static Web pages. As client-side storage
is added, Web applications and desktop applications become closer,
although significant differences remain. [...] We must ask ourselves in
the long term, how we would like the Web application platform to evolve,
and what facilities would be useful in the future."
Prof. Jinpeng Huai, Vice President of Beihang University and W3C China
Office manager, will introduce Tim Berners-Lee, and will be available
for questions about about W3C's presence in China.
Please send additional questions to w3t-pr@w3.org.
Thank you.
