OVERVIEW

ICWE 2024 invites proposals for tutorials in a broad range of Web Engineering topics. Conference participants include researchers and practitioners who are seeking to gain insight and knowledge of up-to-date strategies, methodologies, technologies, and tools used for developing, maintaining and evolving Web applications. Examples of relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Web application modeling and engineering
  • Web mining and knowledge extraction
  • Web Big Data and Web data analytics
  • Mobile Web applications
  • Web of Things applications
  • Social Web applications
  • Web crowdsourcing and human computation
  • Semantic Web, Web ontologies, and Linked Open Data applications
  • Web composition and mashups
  • Web user interfaces
  • Quality and accessibility aspects of Web applications
  • Web security and privacy
  • Web services, computing, and standards
  • Microservice architecture for Web applications
  • Cloud, fog, and edge computing for Web applications
  • Fairness of Web technology
  • User Modelling and Recommender Systems based on Web technology
  • Explainable Web technology

Following the general debate on the need for human-centric and responsible technology, we particularly welcome tutorials relevant to the special theme of the 24th edition of ICWE: Ethical and Human-Centric Web Engineering: Balancing Innovation and Responsibility in Web Technology.

All proposed tutorials should be half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours) in length. The length of tutorial proposals is limited to 4 pages. Proposals must clearly define both the scope and the depth of the tutorial, and they must clearly identify the intended audience, the assumed background knowledge and learning objectives. 

All tutorial proposals must include the following information:

  • Title of the tutorial
  • Contact information of the presenters (name, affiliation, email, mailing address, phone)
  • Abstract outlining the goals and content of the tutorial (max 250 words)
  • Length of the tutorial as either 3 hours (half a day) or 6 hours (full day)
  • Definition of intended audience and assumed background and knowledge
  • Overview of the tutorial structure, list of topics covered, and short description of learning objectives/outcomes
  • Biographies of presenter(s), including information regarding their expertise relevant to the tutorial
  • Any relevant references to the work of the presenters or other references relevant to the tutorial
  • Statement about any previous related tutorial presentations
  • Sample slides of the tutorial, if available

The tutorial may be canceled if the number of registrations is very low. Along with a notification of acceptance, presenters will receive further instructions on how to prepare a two-page summary of the tutorial to be included in the conference proceedings, tutorial notes to be made available on the conference website, and brief biographies to be published in the conference program.

SUBMISSIONS FOR TUTORIALS

All submitted proposals must be formatted in accordance to the information for Springer LNCS authors at https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines and submitted in PDF. A two-page summary of the proposal will be included into the ICWE 2024 Springer LNCS proceedings. Submissions and reviewing are supported by the EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icwe2024).

ICWE 2024 follows the single-blind review process. Consequently, all submissions should include the names and affiliations of all authors, and this information is made visible to the reviewers. Still, the identity of the reviewers will be kept confidential from the authors. Submitted proposals must not be under review elsewhere while under consideration for ICWE 2024. Submissions that do not comply with the required submission format or that fall outside the scope of the conference will be desk rejected without reviewing.

IMPORTANT DATES

All dates are according to the time zone “Anywhere on Earth”, i.e., UTC-12.

  • Submission deadline: February 2, 2024
  • Notification of acceptance: March 22, 2024
  • Camera-ready due: April 8, 2024
