-------- Original Message -------- Subject: USENIX WebApps '12 Call for Papers Now Available Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2011 14:53:42 -0700 From: Lionel Garth Jones lgj@usenix.org

On behalf of the Program Committee, I would like to invite you to submit your work to the 3rd USENIX Conference on Web Application Development (WebApps '12).

Like the inaugural WebApps '10 and '11, WebApps '12 seeks to attract cutting-edge research that advances the state of the art, not only of novel Web applications but also of infrastructure,frameworks, tools, and techniques that support the development, analysis/testing, operation, or deployment of those applications.

Possible topics include but are not limited to:

* Storage for Web-scale applications * Techniques for testing and debugging * Novel strategies for fault tolerance or high availability in Web apps * The Web as an emerging platform in new application areas * Making Web apps social and integrating with social utilities, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google+ * HCI techniques related specifically to Web apps * Measurement, modeling, workload generation, and other tools to aid experimental research on Web apps * New and unusual app features or implementation techniques * Media delivery applications and infrastructure * Client-side libraries, frameworks, toolkits, plug-ins * Server-side frameworks * Languages and language engineering advances relevant to Web app development * Deployment substrates and technologies (cloud computing, infrastructure as a service, testing as a service, etc.)

WebApps '12 will consist of a single track of refereed papers and, new this year, a set of short paper demos. Papers with practical significance and/or working prototypes will be preferred over purely theoretical results. Short paper demo submissions must have a working prototype. Submitted papers must be no longer than 12 pages for regular papers and 6 pages for demo papers, including figures, tables, and references.

For more details on the submission process, advice on how to prepare a competitive paper, and templates to use with LaTeX, Word, etc., authors should consult http://www.usenix.org/events/webapps12/cfp/requirements.html

Paper submissions are due by January 23, 2012, 11:59 p.m. PST.

WebApps '12 will take place June 13-14, 2012, in Boston, MA. It is a co-located event that occurs during USENIX Federated Conferences Week, which spans June 12–15, 2012.

I look forward to receiving your submissions.

Sincerely,

Michael Maximilien, IBM Research WebApps '12 Program Chair webapps12chair@usenix.org
