WWW in Ibero-America Alternate Track
------------------------------------
The "WWW in Ibero-America" alternate track will provide a forum for
academics and industry to present and discuss the latest progress of Web
technologies in the Ibero-American community.
The track will also serve as a platform for the world to better
understand the Internet in Ibero-America, and for Ibero-America to
listen to the world.
The technical program for the three-day track will include refereed
paper presentations, panels, and keynote speeches from some of most
influential leaders in Ibero-American industry and academia.
Scope
-----
We solicit original papers describing research in all areas of the Web
related to Ibero-America. In particular we welcome papers that address:
- Challenging issues raised by specific characteristics of the Web in
Ibero-America.
- Web phenomena related to Ibero-American culture, languages, and users.
- Emerging new Web applications and technologies in Ibero-America.
We encourage the Ibero-American community to submit quality papers whose
main contribution is due to the specificity of being applied to
Ibero-American environment and culture, thus providing a more focused,
in-depth, and interactive environment than will be possible in the main
conference, regardless their scientific originality or cutting-edge
character.
Submision Details
-----------------
Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published or that
are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed
conferences are sought. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress
reports from ongoing research are also encouraged for submission.
Manuscripts should be submitted via the general conference's Refereed
Papers Submission site at EasyChair.
Authors are requested to submit their papers strictly in the conference
format (up to 10 pages overall, including title, references, figures,
diagrams, appendices, etc.). Submissions exceeding the above mentioned
paper size or incorrectly formatted will most likely be rejected without
reviewing. Please see the Submission page for detailed paper formatting
instructions.
Please also note that English is the only language adopted in the
overall conference, including this alternate track. All papers MUST be
written in English.
Proceedings
-----------
All accepted refereed papers will be included in the WWW 2009 conference
proceedings and published by the Association for Computing Machinery
(ACM) and will also be accessible to the general public via the
conference website.
Panels
------
Panels should focus on emerging technologies, controversial issues,
social singularities or unsolved problems in the Ibero-American World
Wide Web community to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and
thought-provoking debate. We expect the panelists to actively engage the
audience and help them gain a deeper understanding of the issues. The
goal of a panel is to debate and thus panels should always reflect more
than one point of view.
All areas of interests to Ibero-American WWW participants are acceptable
as a panel topic. Panel proposals will be accepted on the basis of their
audience appeal, credentials of panelists, originality, and focus on
disputed topics. A rolling acceptance policy will be followed: panel
submissions will be considered as they arrive, and while most will
receive deferred decisions, some may be immediately accepted or returned
to the proposer for improvement.
