The World Wide Web has become a major delivery platform for a variety of complex
and sophisticated enterprise applications in several domains. In addition to their
inherent multifaceted functionality, these Web applications exhibit complex behavior
and place some unique demands on their usability, performance, security and ability to
grow and evolve.
However, a vast majority of these applications continue to be developed in an ad-hoc
way, contributing to problems of usability, maintainability, quality and reliability. While
Web development can benefit from established practices from other related disciplines,
it has certain distinguishing characteristics that demand special considerations. In the
recent years, there have been some developments towards addressing these problems
and requirements. As an emerging discipline, Web Engineering actively promotes
systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approaches towards successful development of
high-quality, ubiquitously usable Web-based systems and applications.
The Web Engineering track aims to present new developments in this area. It
covers processes, methodologies, systems design, architectures and lifecycle
management of small, medium and large Web-based systems and applications. The
track is also meant to be a forum to present illustrative case studies and best practices
of Web application development.
The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
 Web application development processes and methodologies
 Collaborative Web application development
 Design models and methods
 OO Web development and component-based Web engineering
 Federated and cross-organizational Web applications
 Development of Web services-based applications
 Innovative applications in Web 2.0, AJAX, E4X and other new developments
 Web architectures and application frameworks

The Web browser has become the face of cyberspace. As new uses of the Internet
are invented and network bandwidth goes up, web user interfaces will need to become
richer and more interactive. At the same time, the Web is moving off the desktop and
into mobile phones, embedded devices, location-aware services, and large shared
displays. Delivering a good experience across a variety of platforms and form factors
remains a major challenge. Web users are also discovering new ways to communicate
and interact (e.g., communities of trust, social networks, blogs), which present more
design challenges and research opportunities. Will familiar paradigms be able to evolve
to accommodate new devices, high bandwidth interaction, and new use cases, or is
radical change needed in web interface design?
The Browsers and User Interfaces track at WWW2007 will provide a forum where
both researchers and practitioners can share new approaches, applications, and
experimental results about web user interfaces. We invite original papers describing
theoretical or experimental research including (but not limited to) the following topics:

The phenomenal growth of the web has led to an ever-increasing volume of data
and information being published in web-accessible formats. Research in web data
mining aims to develop new techniques to derive actionable knowledge and
information from these sources. Due to heterogeneity and lack of structure in web
data, automated discovery of targeted or unexpected knowledge is a challenging task.
It calls for novel methods that draw from a wide range of fields such as data mining,
machine learning, natural language processing, statistics, databases, and information
retrieval.
For the Data Mining track, we invite original and high quality submissions

Building robust systems and services that are deployed on the Web or that make
use of Web data present a series of interesting challenges to practitioners. Such
challenges range broadly from appropriately scaling algorithms to Web-scale data, to
dealing effectively with large numbers of distributed users, to robustly operating in
adversarial situations where intentional misinformation (e.g., cloaking, spamming,
etc.) is provided on the Web. In many cases, adequately addressing such practical
issues can make critical differences in the viability and ultimate success of a Webbased system.
The Industrial Practice and Experience track invites submissions reporting on
research and development addressing practical issues encountered in developing Webbased systems. This includes both theoretical and applied research on a variety of
topics, a representative (but, by no means exhaustive) sampling of which includes:
 Adversarial challenges in Web-based systems, such as denial of service attacks,
spoofing, etc.





Web spam, cloaking, and/or other forms of misinformation
Issues of data integrity and reliability
Harnessing user interaction data in Web services
Using Web data to enhance other (potentially non-Web-based) systems
Novel methods and modifications to existing algorithms to allow them to deal
effectively with Web-scale data
 Computing platforms and architectures for Web services and Web data analysis
 Lessons learned (both positive and negative) from running Web-based systems,
including (but not limited to), search engines, Web-based gaming and streaming
services, and social networking portals.
 General issues in the research, development and/or deployment of successful Web

The flexibility and richness of the Web architecture have come at the price of
increasing complexity and lack of a sound overall security architecture. The movement
toward Web-based services, and the increasing dependency on the Web, have also
made reliability a first-rate security concern. From malware and spyware, drive-by
downloads, typo squatting, denial of service attacks, to phishing and identity theft, a
variety of threats make the Web an increasingly hostile and dangerous environment.
By undermining user trust, these problems are hampering e-commerce and the growth
of online communities.
This track promotes the view that security, privacy, reliability, and sound guiding
ethics must be part of the texture of a successful World Wide Web. In addition to
devising practical tools and techniques, it is the duty of the research community to
promote and guide business adoption of security technology for the Web and to help
inform related legislation. We seek novel research (both theoretical and practical) in
security, privacy, reliability, and ethics as they relate to the Web, including but not

The Semantic Web vision involves the sharing and processing of data by automated
tools as well as by people. The central idea of the Semantic Web is to extend the
current human-readable web by encoding the semantics of web-resources in a
machine-interpretable form in order to be able to automatically integrate data from
different sources, to perform actions on behalf of the user, and to search for
information based on its meaning rather than its syntactic form. This vision requires
new and advanced methods, models, tools, and systems for services related to
creation, access, retrieval, integration, and filtering of Web-based content.
We solicit contributions that demonstrate how semantic technologies can be
exploited on the Web. In particular we welcome papers that:
 show how semantic technologies add value to the Web, achieving things that
alternative technologies cannot do as well, or at all;
 present new semantic technologies, or novel applications of existing semantic
technologies that provide new levels of Web functionality;
 address the role of communities in the Semantic Web; in particular how community
effects on the web can be exploited to generate semantics;
 demonstrate how emerging web trends such as wikis, folkosonomies and social
software can be enriched with semantic technologies.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
 Distributed architectures for the Semantic Web
 Emergent semantics
 Ontologies and representation languages
 Provenance, trust & security
 Semantic annotation and metadata
 Semantic brokering, integration and interoperability
 Semantic multimedia
 Semantic search and retrieval
 Semantic web services
 Semantic web mining, ontology learning
 Semantic Web in e-Business, e-Learning, e-Science
 Semantics in peer-to-peer systems and grids
 Social networks, web communities
 Web applications that exploit semantics
As well as papers arising directly from Semantic Web research, we also welcome
contributions from related disciplines which may contribute to the success of the
Semantic Web, including Databases, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning,
Information Retrieval, Distributed Systems, and others.
Submissions should describe original, previously unpublished, high quality,
innovative work, making significant and preferably not only theoretical, contributions
to the overall design of the Semantic Web, Semantic Web systems design and
application experience.

Web Services form the architectural and technological basis for a broad range of
today's service-oriented computing systems. Since Web Services first emerged, much
has changed from the original goal of platform independent procedure calls via XML:
standards have emerged, evolved and become deprecated; numerous architectural
and practical lessons have been learned; and Web Services toolkits have evolved and
become more sophisticated. Key non-functional requirements are now being addressed
in the security, transaction, and reliability domains, while new application areas are
emerging, including business process orchestration, grid computing and e-science.
As a result, Web Services technology has become a widely-used solution for intraand inter-enterprise application integration, including e-commerce. However,
improving and better utilizing the technology remains an active area of interest both in
the research and industrial application arenas. The Web Services track is therefore
aimed at researchers, developers, and architects of Web Services who are interested
in the next-generation of systems that use these technologies. They are invited to
share their experiences, results, and ideas, which may lead to a better understanding
of the promise and reality of pervasive, Service-Oriented computing. The WWW2007
Web Services track is therefore soliciting papers which highlight contemporary and
novel approaches in Web Services research and practice.
The relevant topics include, but are not restricted to, the following:
 Service contract and metadata
 Orchestration, choreography and composition of services
 Large scale XML data integration
 Dependability
 Security and privacy
 Tools and technologies for Web Services development, deployment and
management
 Software methodologies for Service-Oriented Systems
 The impact of Web Services on enterprise systems
 Web Services performance
 Architectural styles for Web Services computing
 Application of Web Services technologies in areas including e-commerce, e-science
and grid computing
 Impact of formal methods on Web Services

The Web hosts ever-increasing volumes of diverse data and associated services that
cannot be fully exploited unless appropriate management and integration technologies
are developed. XML has become the lingua-franca of the Web and XML technologies
have become the basis for many Web-based applications. XML is widely used for data
exchange and to publish data from database systems to the Web by providing input to
content generators for Web pages.
The XML and Web Data track promotes novel research on next-generation
information systems and technologies for managing Web data.
The topics of interest for this track include, but are not limited to:
 XML query processing and data management
 Models and query languages for Web data
 Approximate and trustworthy query answering
 Data stream management systems
 Mining, exploration, and visualization of Web data
 Integration of text into XML and relational databases
 XML Data and schema integration
 Warehousing Web data
 Privacy and security of XML data
