              25th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

                        Track on Web Technologies

                    21-25 March 2011, TaiChung, Taiwan

=======================================================================

--------------------
  Aims and rationale
--------------------

Web-related technologies are becoming more and more pervasive and
powerful, with the advent of new exciting concepts, protocols,
languages, and technologies such as Social Software, Web Services, the
Semantic Web, AJAX.  Web applications are progressively evolving into
rich and flexible environments where users can easily access documents,
publish new content, share resources, and interact with others.  This
new class of ubiquitous software systems is emerging, and fostering the
evolution of new cooperation paradigms among people. Novel approaches
and techniques, new tools and frameworks are needed to address the
increasing complexity of these applications.  The Web Technologies
track of ACM SAC aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners from industry and academia working on practical and
foundational aspects of Web technologies as well as other technologies
that in the Web have found new and unexpected application fields.  We
seek original, unpublished contributions that are mainly focused on,
but not necessarily limited to, the following aspects of Web
technologies:

   * Web Engineering
   * Collaboration on the Web: Wikis, Social Software, and Web 2.0
   * Electronic Publishing on the Web
   * Emerging Web Technologies
   * Expanding the reach of Social Software: Enterprise 2.0, Social
     Software, Business, Process Management, ...
   * Hypertext, hypermedia, markup languages, and XML-related
     technologies
   * Performance, Scalability, and Quality of Service on the Web
   * Web Metrics, Monitoring, and Analysis
   * (Process-aware) Web Information Systems
   * Rich User Experiences and Human Computer Interaction in Web
     applications
   * Semantic-enhanced Web applications
   * Web Browsers and Web Interfaces
   * Web Accessibility
   * Mobile Web and Cross-device Content Delivery
   * Web Searching

----------------------------------
  Proceedings and Post-Proceedings
----------------------------------

Papers accepted for the Web Technologies track will be published by ACM
both in the SAC 2011 proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended
version of their work to a forthcoming special issue of Software:
Practice and Experience, Wiley
(http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/1752/home).

------------------
  Paper Submission
------------------
Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be
considered.  This includes three categories of submissions:

   1) original and unpublished research;
   2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts,
      sciences, engineering, business, government, education and
      industry;
   3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.

Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review
process by at least three referees.  The accepted papers in all
categories will be published in the ACM SAC 2011 proceedings.

The camera-ready version of the accepted paper should be prepared using
the ACM format (guidelines are given on the SAC 2011 web site).
Accepted full papers should not exceed 6 pages in a double column
format (with the option, at additional expense of USD 80 per page, to
add 2 more pages).
