Originality of Papers
Authors must not submit previously published work, submit the same work simultaneously to other venues, or submit plagiarized material. These actions will be the ground for WWW to ban the papers from the program. Notice that the program committee may share information about submitted papers with other conference committees and journal editors. If plagiarization is detected, the program chairs may notify the institutions of the authors, and publish the details of the case.
Data publication policy
For scientific rigor and repeatability we would like to encourage authors to publish all data and code used for the submitted work. However, we are fully aware of the user privacy issues concerning the data publication and do not make data publication a requirement for paper submission or presentation.
