The workshop is being organised in conjunction with the 36th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) in Hyderabad, which is scheduled from May 31-June 4, 2014. The workshop connects three themes – open data, web programming and the need to provide better analytics over the web with open data to citizens to promote better quality of life. We encourage Paper submissions on topics related to building of web or mobile programs (applications and APIs) leveraging open data. Special preference will be given to contributions that go beyond open to other data sources (e.g., enterprise) and drive citizen centric decisions. *Topics of interest include, but not restricted to, are:* - Experience in building and deploying Applications (apps) using public data - Application Program Interfaces (APIs) for working with Public Data - API programming model - API composition - API patterns - Web-program testing - Web programming life cycle - Semantic APIs - Platforms to manage government data: provenance, access control and privacy-preserving issues in open data - Semantic models and APIs - Linked open data tools - Semantic event detection and classification - Applications in cities e.g., transportation, public safety, healthcare, water / energy / building management - Web-based spatio-temporal reasoning, analysis and visualization - User interfaces and interaction - Issues in scaling out; Case studies, successes, lessons learnt *Dates:-* - *Workshop paper submissions due:* January 24, 2014 - *Notification to authors:* February 24, 2014 - *Camera-ready copies of authors’ papers:* March 14, 2014 More details are available at https://sites.google.com/site/inclusivewebprogramming/ *Submission Site:* https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwp2014 -- NDSAP Project Management Unit, Room No - 375, A4B4, 3rd Floor, NIC-HQ, CGO Complex, Lodhi Road New Delhi-110003 Phone: 011-24305364, 011-24305370, 011-24305395 Fax: 011-24308854 _______________________________________________ Contrib-ndsap mailing list [email protected] -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.

Call for Papers The ICSE 2014 Workshop on Inclusive Web Programming, Hyderabad, India, May 31-June 4, 2014 (Submission deadline approaching - Jan 31, 2014) Web Site: https://sites.google.com/site/inclusivewebprogramming/ Submission Site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwp2014 ________________________________________ Description The workshop connects three themes - open data, web programming and the need to provide better analytics over the web with open data to citizens to promote better quality of life. Open Government Data is a recent and rapidly growing phenomenon. Governments are increasingly taking initiatives to make their data available online in open formats and under licenses that allow use, reuse & redistribution of government data. More than two hundred open data catalogs exist for cities, state and federal governments that have made their data publicly available. Prominent among them are London (UK), Chicago (USA), Washington DC (USA), Dublin (Ireland), USA (data.gov), India (data.gov.in) and Kenya (opendata.go.ke). Some of these agencies have also opened up their data as a platform encouraging development of applications for public good. There is a World Wide Web Consortium's working group on Government Linked Data (W3C GLD WG) specifically to promote usage of open data programmatically with web standards. The second theme is web programming. Services Oriented Architecture technologies like Web Services have simplified application integration across organizations and over the web in the past (2003-2008). However, their adoption in practice was somewhat limited due to plethora of middleware technologies to assemble such services (SOAP, JMS, UDDI, .Net). Recently, this has seen a shift with mass-scale adoption of web standards (HTTP, JSON, REST) for integration leading to reduction of the entry barrier. Consequently, web application development has become democratized with more situational applications being developed by non-programmers at higher levels of abstractions. Specifically, applications are being developed (composed) from available services with the aim to quickly prototype a capability following standard patterns of data (resource) access. If the application is found useful, a new application is built with more robust constituent services by the same or more trained developer later. Sites like programmableweb.com are promoting such simplified web-programming model. The third theme is sustainability as a domain to build useful and analytical applications that improve citizens' quality of life. As human population increases and resources become scarce, there is an increasing challenge faced by governments about how to promote better usage of what we have. The scientific community has responded to these challenges by promoting the computational sustainability vision where resources consumed by a city, such as water, energy, land, food and air, can be monitored to know the accurate present picture and then optimized for resource efficiency without degrading quality of services it provides -traffic movement, water availability, sanitation, public safety, etc. Industry has joined the vision with a "smart" or "intelligent" prefix for cyber-physical systems, which involve sensing the data through physical instruments, interconnecting and integrating them from multiple sources and analyzing them for intelligent patterns. The trends are converging. In this context, the aims of the workshop are to: 1. Draw the attention of the Software engineering community to the research challenges and opportunities in building web applications using open data for citizens 2. Draw the attention on the multi-disciplinary dimension and its impact on government e.g., transportation, energy, water management, building, infrastructure 3. Identify unique issues of this domain and what new (hybrid) techniques may be needed. As example, since governments and citizens are involved, data security and privacy are first-class concerns. 4. Explore the software life cycle for the web applications including building, hosting and maintenance, commercialization, upgrades and retirement 5. Cloud hosting issues 6. Elaborate a benchmark for testing web applications techniques for city applications 7. Provide a platform for sharing best-practices and discussion 8. Understand how governments can help in better usage of their data and building of high-quality, usable applications, and provide feedback to improve We encourage submissions that deal with topics involved in building web or mobile programs (applications and APIs) leveraging open data. Special preference will be given to contributions that go beyond open to other data sources (e.g., enterprise) and drive citizen centric decisions.??Topics of interest include, but not restricted to, are: 1.
