Call for Participation

You  are  cordially  invited  to  actively  participate  in  the  2002
International World Wide Web Conference  May 7-11 in Honolulu, Hawaii,
USA. Beginning  with the first  International WWW Conference  in 1994,
this prestigious series of the International World Wide Web Conference
Committee (IW3C2) also provides a  public forum for the WWW Consortium
(W3C) through the annual W3C track.

Hawaii's mid-Pacific location and  multi-cultural heritage make it the
finest place in the world to draw together a mix of attendees from the
Americas,  Asia and  Europe. International  researchers, technologists
and leaders  from industry,  academia, and  government will  gather at
WWW2002 to define, refine, present, demonstrate and discuss the latest
ideas and developments  in web technologies. We want you  to be one of
them.

You  can  actively  participate  in   WWW2002  through  a  variety  of
activities.  The  conference will  consist  of  a three-day  technical
program, preceded by a day of  tutorials and workshops and followed by
a  "Developers  Day."  Developers  Day will  be  devoted  to  in-depth
technical  sessions  designed  specifically for  web  developers.  The
technical   program  will   include   refereed  paper   presentations,
non-refereed  presentations,  plenary   sessions,  panels  and  poster
sessions  describing current  work.The  tutorials  and workshops  will
provide in-depth looks at specific areas of current interest.

REFEREED PAPERS

Technical  papers   will  be   peer-reviewed  and  published   in  the
WWW2002  proceedings.  Submitted  papers  should  present  reports  of
substantive, original  work and can be  theoretical (models, analyses,
techniques,  semantics),  empirical  (experiments, case  studies),  or
implementation-oriented   (new   systems,  tools,methodologies,   user
interfaces). Papers should cite related  work and clearly indicate the
innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the development
of the World  Wide Web. Awards will be presented  for Best Paper, Best
Presentation, and Best Poster at WWW2002.

Areas of interest for WWW2002 refereed papers include:

      Applications 
      Browsers and User Interfaces 
      Electronic Commerce & Security 
      Hypermedia 
      Languages 
      Mobility and Wireless Access 
      Multimedia 
      Performance

NON-REFEREED TRACKS

Other  program  tracks at  WWW2002  will  address topics  of  interest
through  presentations   of  current   work,  panel   discussions  and
demonstrations. Papers and presentations  are invited in the following
areas:

      W3C Track (Prepared by the W3C)

      Telehealth 
      Practice & Experience / E-Business 
      Vendor Track 

POSTER TRACK

The  poster   track  provides  an  opportunity   for  researchers  and
practitioners  to present  and  demonstrate  their recent  web-related
research and obtain feedback from  their peers in an informal setting.
It gives conference attendees a way to learn about innovative works in
progress in  a timely  and informal manner.  Accepted posters  will be
displayed  in a  dedicated  poster area  and  the presenters  featured
during  an  evening  poster  reception. Abstracts  will  appear  in  a
proceedings volume distributed to all attendees.

Questions about  the WWW2002  Technical Program  can be  submitted via
email to pc@www2002.org



TUTORIALS

A program  of tutorials will cover  topics of current interest  to Web
design,  development, services,  operation,  use and  evaluation.These
half- and full-day sessions will  be led by internationally recognized
experts and experienced instructors using prepared content.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops provide  an opportunity for researchers,  designers, leaders
and practitioners  to explore  current web R&D  issues through  a more
focused  and  in-depth  manner  than  is  possible  in  a  traditional
conference session. Participants typically present position statements
and hold  in-depth discussions  with their  peers within  the workshop
setting.
