The WWW 2015 Industry Track highlights web research across the spectrum that is happening in industrial research settings. The track features paper-style presentations of research results and ideas from many major companies. The web has proven to be a fertile ground for industrial research, and companies from small to large, from brand new to deeply entrenched, are making significant leaps forward in science and engineering. The Industry Track will close with an exciting pechakucha session (20 slides x 20 secs. per slide) and panel on knowledge graphs, one of the most pervasive directions in web technology across the industry.
