WORKSHOP RATIONALE AND AIMS
---------------------------
In the context of the Web, the word "mashup" is used to denote Web applications that are materialized by integrating data, services and/or presentation of other (data) sources or applications. Mashups and mashup tools with their models, languages, and instruments for mashup development are innovative in that they tackle integration at the user interface level (most mashups do integrate presentation content, not "just" data), they aim at simplicity more than completeness of features (up to the point that advanced Web users, not only programmers, can develop composite applications), and they allow fairly sophisticated development tasks in the web browser.

Over the last years, we have seen many efforts invested in research on mashups, in both the industrial and the academic context, yet we are still far from a common understanding of the problems that drive the research, of the approaches that best fit given problems, and even of the benefits of the results achieved so far.

The goal of ComposableWeb is to stimulate the discussion of key issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications, and trends in the area of web mashups and lightweight composition on the Web, so as to accelerate progress. 

TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
Areas of particular interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to):

    * Web/service/data mashups
    * Web composition technologies
    * Web composition models and languages
    * Lightweight data integration
    * Lightweight application integration
    * Lightweight UI integration (integration at the presentation level)
    * Lightweight (semantic) metadata or knowledge integration
    * Design methodologies with/without user involvement
    * Domain-specific mashup approaches
    * New development models
    * Model-driven mashup approaches
    * End user oriented mashup approaches
    * User interface aspects of Web composition
    * Visual/graphical development metaphors
    * Context-aware and personalized Web composition/mashups
    * Usability and Accessibility of composite Web applications
    * Evaluation/quality of composite Web applications
    * Case studies and industrial experiences 

TARGET AUDIENCE
---------------
ComposableWeb aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners with different research interests and belonging to communities like Web Engineering, Service Engineering, Business Process Management, Databases, Semantic Web, Software Composition and Software Engineering.

PAPER SUBMISSION
----------------
Authors are invited to submit research papers and demo proposals. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages for research papers and 3 pages for demo proposals and should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS format.

After the successful experience of the 2009 and 2010 editions, we explicitly dedicate again at least one session of the workshop to demonstrations and hands-on discussions. Demos will be selected from the demo proposal submissions and from those accepted papers whose authors are willing to equip their presentation with an according demonstration.

Papers are submitted as PDF files via the ComposableWeb 2011 EasyChair conference management system:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=composableweb2011.

Submitted research papers may not overlap with papers that have already been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.

PROCEEDINGS
-----------
Accepted papers will be published on the workshop web site ahead of the workshop and in the ICWE 2011 workshop post-proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series. For a paper to be published, at least one of its authors must register for the main conference and register for and participate in the workshop.
