Abstract
There seems to be a trend towards replacing monolithic general-purpose Web browsers by more finely-tuned Web applications enhanced with user-specific functionality, such as for example applets that allow for user-interaction or the display of dynamic information.This raises the issue of what support should be provided for developing such applications. This workshop intents to address these issues. Topics include:
- 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, ...
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
