SCOPE

The Workshop on Automated Specification and Verification of Web Systems
(WWV,
http://users.dsic.upv.es/grupos/elp/wwv/) is a yearly workshop that aims at
providing an interdisciplinary forum to facilitate the cross-fertilization
and the advancement of hybrid methods that exploit concepts and tools drawn
from Rule-based programming, Software engineering, Formal methods and
Web-oriented research.

Nowadays, many companies and institutions have diverted their Web sites into
interactive, completely-automated, Web-based applications for, e.g.,
e-business,
e-learning, e-government and e-health. The increased complexity and the
explosive
growth of Web systems has made their design and implementation a
challenging task.
Systematic, formal approaches to their specification and verification can
permit
to address the problems of this specific domain by means of automated and
effective techniques and tools.

Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not
limited to:
- Rule-based approaches to Web system analysis, certification,
specification,
  verification, and optimization.
- Languages and models for programming and designing Web systems.
- Formal methods for describing and reasoning about Web systems.
- Model-checking, synthesis and debugging of Web systems.
- Analysis and verification of linked data.
- Abstract interpretation and program transformation applied to the
semantic Web.
- Intelligent tutoring and advisory systems for Web specifications
authoring.
- Middleware and frameworks for composition and orchestration of Web
services.
- Web quality and Web metrics.
- Web usability and accessibility.
- Testing and evaluation of Web systems and applications.



AUDIENCE

Participation to WWV is open. The workshop is intended for, but not limited
to,
researchers from the communities of Rule-based programming, Software
engineering,
Formal methods and Web-oriented research.



SUBMISSION

Submitted papers should present original unpublished work and cannot be
under
review for publication elsewhere. Each paper will undergo a thorough
evaluation
by at least three reviewers, chosen by the Program Committee.
Contributions should be submitted through the EasyChair online submission
system
in PDF format, and should be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS-style format
and
should not exceed 15 pages (typeset 11 points).
Submission is a firm commitment that at least one of the authors will
attend the
workshop, if the paper is accepted.



PUBLICATION

Accepted papers will be included in the pre-proceedings, which will be made
available in electronic form through the WWV web site.
After the workshop, authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare, by
incorporating insights gathered during the event, a final version of their
paper
to be published in the post-proceedings as a volume of the EPTCS series
(WWV publication is indexed in DBLP and Microsoft Academic Research among
other important repositories). An open call for a special high-quality
journal issue on the topic of the WWV workshop is envisaged.

published
in ENTCS (WWV'05, WWV'07, WWV'08), IEEE (WWV'06) and EPTCS (WWV'11,WWV'12).
After WWV'09, a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation on the
topics
of the WWV has been organized. Similarly, a special issue of the Journal of
Applied Logic has been organized after WWV'10, and a special issue of the
Journal
of Logic and Algebraic Programming is being organized after WWV'11 and
WWV'12.
