First International Workshop on
Web Computing in Cyberworlds (WCCW2004)
http://cse.seu.edu.cn/people/bwxu/wccw2004
in
conjunction with
2004 International Conference on Cyberworlds (CW2004)
Tokyo, November 18-20,
2004
1. Aims
The open approach
to developing Web computing in Cyberworlds has attracted an increasing
attention in both academia and industry. This workshop will not only focus
on architecture and models for Web computing, but also emphasize the emerging
technologies in various Web computing aspects, which will be held together with
the International Conference on Cyberworlds 2004 (http://cw2004.myvnc.com/).
The
Web Computing is an ideal model to utilize the millions of personal computers’ idle
CPUs through the Web, thus providing high efficient and cheap computation. The
distributed and dynamic architecture and system models have become the
foundation of Web Computing. The inherent cooperation in Web computing enables
a large range of computations.
The
aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working
on theory, techniques and applications, concerning analysis and/or manipulation
of Web computing. The complex and large-scale Web computing requires effective
methodologies and tools for the analysis, design, implementation and
maintenance.
2. Topics
The workshop
emphasizes on the analysis and manipulation techniques. Topics include, but not
limited to:
l Architecture and Models
- Web Computing Model and Framework
- Web Computing Software Environment
- Heterogeneity and Portability in Web Computing
- Semantics and Ontology Engineering
l Methods and Tools

- Clustering-Based Recommended Systems
- Web-Based Applications and Systems
l Quality Assurance
- Cooperation and Integration
- Testing and evolution
- Maintenances of Web Computing Systems
3. Submission
Original papers
on new results in the rapidly emerging area – web computing in Cyberworlds are
welcome. Papers should indicate the innovative aspects of the results and
contribution to the field. Papers submitted for publication in a journal or
another conference will not be considered. The format of submitted papers must
follow the IEEE conference proceedings guidelines which are available at http://computer.org/author/psguide.htm.
All submitted papers will be
evaluated according to its originality, significance, correctness, presentation
and relevance.
Papers
must be submitted electronically in
Postscript or PDF format via E-mail to professor Baowen Xu (bwxu@seu.edu.cn).
All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings
of the 2004 International Conference on Cyberworlds
(CW2004) published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
