ProWeb21: 5th International Workshop on Programming Technology for the Future
Web
https://2021.programming-conference.org/track/proweb-2021-papers
Co-located with the <Programming> conference
March 22nd - 26th, Online

** DEADLINE EXTENSION: 8th February 2021 **
================
Full-fledged web applications have become ubiquitous on desktop and mobile
devices alike. Whereas “responsive” web applications already offered a more
desktop-like experience, there is an increasing demand for “rich” web
applications (RIAs) that offer collaborative and even off-line functionality:
Google Docs being the prototypical example. Long gone are the days that web
servers merely had to answer incoming HTTP requests with a block of static
HTML. Today’s servers react to a continuous stream of events coming from
JavaScript applications that have been pushed to clients. As a result,
application logic and data are increasingly distributed and traditional
dichotomies such as “client vs. server” and “offline vs. online” are fading.
** Call for Contributions **
The ProWeb21 workshop is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share and
discuss new technology for programming these and future evolutions of the web.
We welcome submissions introducing programming technology (i.e., frameworks,
libraries, programming languages, program analyses, and development tools) and
formalisms for implementing web applications and for maintaining their quality,
as well as experience reports about their usage. Relevant topics include, but
are not limited to:
* Applications of AI to web software development: code models, code prediction,
change impact analysis, automated testing
* Web App Quality: static and dynamic program analyses, metrics, development
tools, automated testing, contract systems, type systems, migration from legacy
architectures, web service APIs, API conformance checking
* Designing for and hosting novel languages on the web: compilation to
JavaScript, WebAssembly
* Multi-tier (or tierless) programming: new languages and runtimes,
tier-splitting compilers, type systems
* Principles and practice of Web UI programming: data binding, reactive
programming, virtual DOM
* Data sharing, replication, and consistency: cloud types, CRDTs, eventual
consistency, offline storage, peer-to-peer communication
* Security on the new web: security policies, policy enforcement, membranes,
vulnerability detection, dynamic patching
* Surveys and case studies using state-of-the-art web technology (e.g.,
WebAssembly, WebSockets, Web Storage, Service Workers, WebRTC, Angular.js,
React and React Native, TypeScript, Proxies, PureScript, ClojureScript, Amber
Smalltalk, Scala.js)
* Ideas on and experience reports about: how to reconcile the need for quality
with the need for agility on the web, how to master and combine the myriad of
tier-specific technologies required to develop a web application
* Position papers on what the future of the web will look like
This year, we are accepting three types of submission:
* **Full papers, position papers, and experience reports**: 8-page papers
describing novel research, which, when accepted, will be included in the ACM
Digital Library.
* **Demo papers**: 4-page extended abstracts illustrating demonstrations of
tools and prototypes.
* **Presentation abstracts**: 2-page extended abstracts.
Presentation abstracts will not be included in the ACM Digital Library but will
be included in an informal pre-proceedings on the website. We very much welcome
presentation abstracts about work already published elsewhere, or giving an
overview of an existing system, and the format is designed not to preclude
future publication.
Submissions should be in ACM SIGPLAN two-column format (see
https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/). References are not counted in the
page limits.
If you have any questions or wonder whether your submission is in scope, please
do not hesitate to contact the PC co-chairs.
