Call for Research Papers

For more than two decades, the International World-Wide Web Conference has been the premier venue for researchers, academics, businesses, and standard bodies to come together and discuss latest updates on the state and evolutionary path of the Web. The main conference program of WWW 2014 will have 11 areas (or themes) for refereed paper presentations, and we invite you to submit your cutting-edge, exciting, new breakthrough work to the relevant area. In addition to the main conference, WWW 2014 will also have a series of co-located workshops, keynote speeches, tutorials, panels, a developer track, and poster and demo sessions.

The list of areas for this year is as follows:

• Behavioral Analysis and Personalization
• Content Analysis
• Crowd Phenomena
• Internet Economics and Monetization
• Security, Privacy, Trust, and Abuse
• Semantic Web
• Social Networks and Graph Analysis
• Software Infrastructure, Performance, Scalability, and Availability
• User Interfaces, Human Factors, and Smart Devices
• Web Mining
• Web Search Systems and Applications

All submitted papers must:

• be written in English;
• contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses;
• be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) with a font size no smaller than 9pt;
• be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform), and formatted for US Letter size;
• occupy no more than ten pages, including the abstract and appendices, but excluding references.

It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that their submissions adhere strictly to the required format.
Submissions that do not comply with the above guidelines may be rejected without review.

Submissions must represent new and original work. Concurrent submissions are not allowed. Papers that have been published elsewhere, are currently under review, or will be submitted to other meetings or publications while under WWW2014 review should not be submitted to WWW2014.

The review process is single-blind peer review. (Reviewers are anonymous, but authors are not)

Accepted papers will appear in the online conference proceedings published by the ACM Digital Library and the conference’s web site. Authors of accepted papers will retain intellectual property rights to their work, but will be required to sign a copyright release form to IW3C2. After publication in WWW2014 extended versions of papers can be submitted to refereed journals in accordance to the policies of those publications.
