systems and applications. The workshop seeks to act as a conduit for the 
presentation of novel approaches used in support of performance, 
scalability, and security of Internet applications, including Web 
searching and indexing, content distribution and delivery networks, Web 
services, and edge and grid computing.

• Wide-area upload and content gathering
• Novel web-based applications
• Web/database integration
• Internet telephony
• Information retrieval and searching
• Electronic commerce

Papers describing timely research contributions in HotWeb's areas of 
interest are solicited. Papers reporting on initial results as well as 
papers discussing mature research projects or case studies of deployed 
systems are equally sought out. 

Submitted papers must be neither previously published nor under review by 
another workshop, conference or journal. Only electronic submissions in 
PDF will be accepted. Submitted papers must be written in English, must be 
no longer than 12 pages, must render without error using standard PDF
