SCOPE
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.
We solicit paper 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
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.
Participants are encouraged to present work in progress, overviews of more extensive work, position papers and reports of practical experiences.
LOCATION
WWV'05 will be held in Valencia, Spain (http://www.turisvalencia.es), at the Department of Information Systems and Computation of the Technical University of Valencia (http://www.dsic.upv.es).
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Submission will be web-based via the conference web-site:

Submitted papers can fit into one of these categories: (1) Regular contribution (15 pages maximum) (2) System demonstration / Report of practical experiences / Work in progress (4 pages maximum) (3) Position paper / Overview of more extensive work (15 pages maximum)
Submitted papers should be written using the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) style available at the conference web-site:
http://www.dsic.upv.es/workshops/wwv05
Submitted papers should include an abstract and the author's information. See the author's instructions of ENTCS style at http://math.tulane.edu/~entcs.
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be published in a preliminary proceedings volume, which will be available during the workshop.
After the workshop, the final proceedings will be published in the Elsevier series Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS). Accepted papers of categories (1) and (2) will be published in the ENTCS final proceedings. However, ENTCS publication of papers in category (3) will be decided on the basis of their original contents.
