Workshop Topics

  • Web programming languages
  • components for developing Web applications
  • software libraries -- HTML/HTTP support
  • (object) composition mechanisms -- CORBA, OLE, ...
  • additional communication protocols -- broadcasting, ToolTalk, ...
  • agents -- mobile code, ...

To focus the discussion, we state that "the language wars are over, the next war will be an API war, or rather several of them." In other words, as a result of the workshop, we like to see (proposals for) high-level support for Web-integrated applications.

We like the workshop to result in

  • the definition of requirements for high-level APIs and frameworks for Web programming
  • the characterization of suitable components for Web-aware applications,
  • an overview of existing APIs for the Web
