[ We apologize for multiple copies ] ******************************************************************* 2nd International Workshop on Automated Specification and Verification of Web Systems (WWV'06) Cyprus, November 15-19, 2006 (Track of ISoLA 2006) http://www.dsic.upv.es/workshops/wwv06 ******************************************************************* 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 * intelligent tutoring and advisory systems for Web applications and Web specifications authoring 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. LOCATION WWV'06 will be held in November in Cyprus as a Special Track of the 2006 International Symposium on Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods, Verification, and Validation (ISoLA 2006). HISTORY The first WWV'05 edition was held in Valencia, Spain, during March 14-15, 2005. The workshop was attended by 42 participants from universities, research institutes, and companies from 11 countries: Austria, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, UK, and USA. A selection of the papers appeared as a volume of the Elsevier series Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS). PUBLICATION Accepted papers will be published in a preliminary proceedings volume, which will be available during the workshop. Publication of the workshop post-proceedings in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) is envisaged.
