Call for Industrial Practice and Experience track

The Industrial Practice and Experience track serves as a forum for high quality papers reporting on the more practical issues and experiences encountered when building large scale Web-based systems that are deployed to a large number of users. As such, the Industrial Practice and Experience invites submissions reporting research and development of actual systems and the experiences encountered when deploying to large scale user base. Articles should be written in a scientific rather than sales style if a product is described. Demonstrations (when appropriate) are encouraged as part of the submission (via a URL to the actual system or a recording of its use).

Topics of interest include (but are by no means limited to) the following :

  • Surviving a cloud outage
  • Applications of Web for All, Web access beyond the first billion
  • Search Based Applications
  • Big Data Applications
  • Scaling down to mobile applications
  • Large scale entity extraction applications
  • Online Advertising applications
  • Web mining, web scraping applications
  • Filtering spam from applications
  • Navigation and accompaniment
  • Gaming, Gamification (crowdsourcing through games)
  • Recommendation engines and/or machine learning over a stream

  • Enterprise Search and the Web
  • User studies of Web-based systems
  • General issues in the research, development and/or deployment of successful Web applications
