The Practice and Experience track solicits high quality papers reporting on practical issues and experiences encountered in applying novel research results and methods in developing and deploying web-scale applications (commercial or academic), and in the use of real-world web-scale data for business insights and for user experience. Articles should be written in a scientific rather than sales style if a product is described. Demonstrations (when appropriate) are encouraged as part of the submission (via a URL to the actual system or a recording of its use).

- Mobile, multi-screen, and multimedia applications - Methodologies and insights from controlled experiments - User modeling, personalization, privacy and anonymization - Emerging markets and accessibility (web access beyond the first billion) - Crowdsourcing and human computation - Entity extraction, and knowledge building - Computational advertising - Batch and on-line processing and modeling - Interactive visualization and monitoring - Data-driven journalism, medicine, and finance - User studies, ethnographic studies, and evaluation - Personal information management - Engagement metrics and economic models - The web and the real world (online and offline behavior, Web Science, etc.) - Search in novel domains and new search paradigms - Experiences in developing, and using open source software - Participatory platforms and grass-roots movements (e.g., citizen journalism, lobbying, etc.) - Adversarial challenges (denial of service attacks, spoofing, spam, cloaking, etc.) - Enterprise-specific deployments and systems - Distributed computing and platforms - Start-up experiences in developing, deploying, and scaling - Insights and Business intelligence - Applications in all areas (education, entertainment and games, politics, social media, etc.)
