ProWeb 2017: 1st International Workshop on Programming Technology for 
the Future Web
http://2017.programming-conference.org/track/proweb-2017-papers
Co-located with the <Programming> conference
April 4, Brussels, Belgium
====================

Full-fledged web applications have become ubiquitous on desktop and 
mobile devices alike. Whereas “responsive” web applications already 
offered a more desktop-like experience, there is an increasing demand 
for “rich” web applications (RIAs) that offer collaborative and even 
off-line functionality —Google docs being the prototypical example. Long 
gone are the days that web servers merely had to answer incoming HTTP 
request with a block of static HTML. Today’s servers react to a 
continuous stream of events coming from JavaScript applications that 
have been pushed to clients. As a result, application logic and data is 
increasingly distributed. Traditional dichotomies such as “client vs. 
server” and “offline vs. online” are fading.

** Call for Papers **

The 1st International Workshop on Programming Technology for the Future 
Web, or ProWeb17, is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share 
and discuss new technology for programming these and future evolutions 
of the web. We welcome submissions introducing programming technology 
(i.e., frameworks, libraries, programming languages, program analyses 
and development tools) for implementing web applications and for 
maintaining their quality over time, as well as experience reports about 
the use of state-of-the-art programming technology.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
* Quality on the new web:
static and dynamic program analyses; code, design test and process 
metrics; development and migration tools; automated testing and test 
generation; contract systems, type systems, and web service API 
conformance checking; ...
* Hosting languages on the web:
new runtimes; transpilation or compilation to JavaScript, WebAssembly, 
asm.js, ...
* Designing languages for the web:
multi-tier (or tierless) programming; reactive programming; frameworks 
for multi-tier or reactive programming on the web; ...
* Distributed data sharing, replication and consistency:
cloud types, CRDTs, eventual consistency, offline storage, peer-to-peer 
communication, ...
* Security on the web:
client-side and server-side security policies; policy enforcement; 
proxies and membranes; vulnerability detection; dynamic patching, ...
* Surveys and case studies using state-of-the-art web technology
* Ideas on and experience reports about:
how to reconcile the need for quality with the need for agility on the 
web; how to master and combine the myriad of tier-specific technologies 
required to develop a web application, ..
* Position statements on what the future of the web should look like

We solicit three kinds of submissions via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=proweb2017

- 6-page **technical papers** and **experience reports** that, when 
accepted, will be published in the workshop post-proceedings as part of 
of the ACM’s Digital Library.
- 3-page **position statements** that, when accepted, will be published 
in the workshop post-proceedings as part of of the ACM’s Digital Library.
- 1-page **presentation abstracts** that, when accepted, will be made 
available on the website.

Submissions must follow the ACM Master Article Template 
(http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template, sigconf option, 9 
point font, Times New Roman font family, numeric citation style). Each 
submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the program 
committee. We welcome submissions that identify new problems, or report 
on promising ideas in early stages of research. Submissions of the third 
kind are ideal to further disseminate existing ideas within the 
community, to demonstrate existing tools, or simply to instigate a 
discussion.
