WWV'05

1st Int'l Workshop on Automated Specification and Verification of Web Sites
Valencia, Spain, March 14-15, 2005

Next edition: WWV'06

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.

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.

TOPICS

We solicit papers 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

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