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 original papers 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
* intelligent tutoring and advisory systems for Web specifications
     authoring
* Web quality and Web metrics
* Web usability and accessibility
* Testing and evaluation of Web systems and applications

The WWV series 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.

The previous WWV editions were: WWV'07 (Venice, Italy), WWV'06 
(Paphos, Cyprus), and WWV'05 (Valencia, Spain).

LOCATION

WWV'08 will be held in July in the convention centre of the
University of Siena, Italy: http://www.unisi.it/santachiara/

The workshop will be co-located with WFLP'08:

WORKSHOP VENUE

Siena is one of the nicest city in Italy. The historical centre is
