CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on Web Oriented Software Technology - IWWOST 2002
June 11, 2002, Málaga, Spain (together with ECOOP 2002)
http://www.dsic.upv.es/~west2001/iwwost02
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the web application era that we are entering, dozens of web development
application methods are being presented, most of them using some form of
object-oriented technology. More than ever it is essential to look for
common
basic abstractions related with web technology, in order to avoid the "yet
another method" syndrome. The workshop intention is to put together all
groups
of researchers worldwide in the area of methods for web application design
and
implementation, in order to learn about all methodological approaches having
the Object Oriented paradigm and related approaches as the development base.
This is the second edition of the workshop, which gathered 25 researchers in
its successful first edition in Valencia, Spain, June 2001. They represented
some of the most relevant universities and research centres with experience
in the area. The event constituted a fruitful meeting where the basic
principles
related to the web applications software production process were discussed.
IWWOST 2002 wants to be an open forum for all people working on hypermedia
and
conventional object-oriented software production methods for web-based
applications. The final objective is to put them together with the intention
of
defining a precise process for building web applications. This will be done
starting from user requirements elicitation and representation for such a
web
environment, up to the final software product built upon the modern OO, web
technologies provided by industry.
The workshop is supported by the iberoamerican research project WEST (Web-
OrientedSoftware Technology), a CYTED project that joins 14 Universities and
research centres of different iberoamerican countries whose researchers are
involved in web applications and web technology.

NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS
In order to ensure a manageable meeting, the maximum number of participants:
will be limited to 25 persons. First IWWOST workshop participant selection
was
done by personal invitation. This second edition will follow a standard
selection process guided by a program committee.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
To insure that the workshop is an occasion for a rich interchange of ideas
and
experiences, contributions are sought in the form of Extended Position
Papers
focusing on Web Application Analysis, Design and Implementation. Position
papers
should include detailed descriptions of concrete, non-trivial examples of
the
particular aspects being discussed; we expect discussions to go into as much
detail as possible. Examples should be taken preferably from actual running
applications.
Papers will be selected according to their relevance, and quality. Although
originality is not a sine-qua-non requirement, original results will always
be
given higher priority. Relevant topics include, but are not restricted to,
- Object-Oriented Web Engineering Solutions (Architectural, Design and
Navigational Patterns, among others);
- Software production processes and methodologies for the web;
- Quality of Web applications;
- Object orientation and conceptual modelling for the web;
- Use of meta-data, semantically rich formalisms and notations For web
applications.
Papers should not exceed 9000 words. Submissions should be made in
electronic
form, either as PDF, Microsoft Word, Postscript or plain text file, emailed
to
iwwost2002@dsic.upv.es.

WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS
ECOOP Workshops will be published as a Workshop Reader by Springer Verlag
as
an LNCS volume, containing a summary and main conclusions, written by the
organizers and participants. A separate workshop proceedings will be
published,
containing the full-submitted papers.

WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES
The workshop will be centred on the presentation of the accepted papers,
with
ample time for a detailed presentation and discussions. If possible, all
participants will be able to download the accepted papers before the
workshop,
so that they will have familiarized themselves with the work being
presented.

IMPORTANT DATES
Position paper due: April 8, 2002
Notification of acceptance: April 29, 2002
Deadline for early registration: May 6, 2002
