SCOPE

The  increased  complexity  of Web sites and the explosive growth of
Web-based applications has turned their design and construction into
a  challenging problem. Nowadays, many companies have diverted their
Web   sites   into   interactive,   completely-automated,  Web-based
applications (such  as  Amazon, on-line banking, or travel agencies)
with  a  high complexity that requires appropriate specification and
verification  techniques and tools. Systematic, formal approaches to
the  analysis  and  verification  can  address  the problems of this
particular  domain  with  automated  and  reliable  tools  that also
incorporate semantic aspects.

We solicit paper on formal methods and techniques applied to Web
sites, Web services or Web-based applications, such as:

  * rule-based approaches to Web site analysis, certification,
       specification, verification, and optimization
  * formal models for describing and reasoning about Web sites
  * model-checking, synthesis and debugging of Web sites
  * abstract interpretation and program transformation applied
       to the semantic Web

WWV'05 provides a forum for researchers from the communities of
Rule-based   programming,  Automated  Software  Engineering, and
Web-oriented  research to facilitate the cross-fertilization and
the advancement of hybrid methods that combine the three areas.

Participants are encouraged to present work in progress, overviews
of more extensive work, position papers and reports of practical
experiences.

LOCATION

WWV'05 will be held in Valencia, Spain (http://www.turisvalencia.es),
at  the  Department  of  Information  Systems  and  Computation of
the Technical University of Valencia (http://www.dsic.upv.es).
