ICWE aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines in academia and industry to tackle the emerging challenges in the engineering of Web applications and in the problems of its associated technologies, as well as the impact of those technologies on society and culture. The 15th edition of ICWE will be organized in thematic tracks, each focusing on a different dimension of Web applications – Web application modeling and engineering, mobile Web applications, social Web applications, Semantic Web applications, quality and accessibility aspects of Web applications, Web composition and mashups, Web user interfaces, and security and privacy in Web applications.

In addition to the research tracks, ICWE 2015 also seeks contributions of demos and posters, student papers to the PhD Symposium, tutorials, and workshops, which will be subject of individual calls for papers.

The conference will be held at the World Trade Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Rotterdam is the second largest city in the Netherlands, one of the largest seaports worldwide, and host to several leading universities.

SUBMISSIONS TO THE RESEARCH TRACKS

This call addresses research contributions to research tracks in one of the following categories:

Full research papers: mature, original research contribution. Reported results should be supported by some type of validation, and also include a justification about the choice/suitability of the validation method. In addition, evidence of use in practice and/or demonstration of scalability is regarded as a plus. (18 pages)
Position papers: short papers presenting a discussion – analysis, criticism, proposal, etc. – about relevant aspects of Web engineering topics. These papers are intended to generate discussions that promise potential for research that will impact Web engineering in the coming years. (10 pages)
Papers must be formatted according to the information for Springer LNCS authors at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html and submitted in PDF. Accepted contributions will be included into the ICWE 2015 Springer LNCS proceedings. The best papers will be selected to be proposed, in extended form, as part of a special issue of the Journal of Web Engineering.
