WORKSHOP RATIONALE AND AIMS
---------------------------
While the word "mashup" is widely used, it is not really clear what a  
mashup is and what it is not. Some applications focus on integrating  
RSS feeds, others on integrating RESTful services or SOAP services,  
others of Atom feeds, and there are those that focus on integrating  
user interfaces. However, we believe mashups - and especially mashup  
tools with their models, languages and instruments for mashup  
development - do bring innovation, in that they tackle integration at  
the user interface level (most mashups do integrate presentation  
content, not "just" data), they aim at simplicity more than  
completeness of features (up to the point that advanced Web users, not  
only programmers, can develop composite applications), and they allow  
fairly sophisticated development tasks in the Web browser.

Over the last years, we have seen many efforts invested in research on  
mashups, in both the industrial and the academic context, yet we are  
still far from a common understanding of the problems that drive the  
research, of the approaches that best fit given problems, and even of  
the benefits of the results achieved so far.

In light of these considerations, the goal of ComposableWeb is to  
stimulate the discussion of key issues, approaches, open problems,  
innovative applications, and trends in the area of web mashups and  
lightweight composition on the Web, so as to accelerate progress.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
Areas of particular interest for the Workshop include (but are not  
limited to):

- Web/service mashups
- Web composition technologies for data, services, and user interfaces
- Web composition models and languages
- Graphical support for Web composition/mashups
- Lightweight data integration
- Lightweight application integration
- Lightweight UI integration (integration at the presentation level)
- Lightweight (semantic) (meta)data or knowledge integration
- Design methodologies with/without user involvement
- New development models
- User interface aspects of Web composition
- Context-aware and personalized Web composition/mashups
- Usability and Accessibility of composite Web applications
- Evaluation/quality of composite Web applications
- Case studies and industrial experiences

TARGET AUDIENCE
---------------
ComposableWeb aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners  
with different research interests and belonging to communities like  
Web Engineering, Service Engineering, Business Process Management,  
Databases, Semantic Web, Software Composition, and Software Engineering.

PAPER SUBMISSION
----------------
Authors are invited to submit full research papers (page limit: 12  
pages) or short demo papers (page limit: 3 pages). In addition to the  
traditional paper presentation sessions, there will be a session  
dedicated to the demos.

Papers are submitted using the Easychair conference management system,  
at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=composableweb10. All  
papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format.  
Submitted papers may not overlap with papers that have already been  
published, or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,  
conference or workshop.

PROCEEDINGS
-----------
Accepted papers will be made available on the workshop Web site ahead  
of the workshop and as official Springer LNCS post-proceedings after  
the workshop. For a paper to be published, at least one of its authors  
must register for the main conference and participate in the workshop.
