Web Technologies Track
The 37th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing
SAC 2022

Sponsored by ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP)
The SRC Program is sponsored by Microsoft Research.
For the past thirty six years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists,
computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from
around the world. SAC 2022 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest
Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP).
Aims and Rationale
------------------
The World Wide Web is relentlessly evolving. Once a single
interconnection of static, physically distributed content passively
accessed by human users through personal computers, during the explosion
of Web-based social networks, the Web evolved into an environment
allowing users worldwide to interact and collaborate in the creation of
user-generated content within many virtual communities. In this line,
Web 2.0 is the umbrella term used to encompass several developments
which followed, namely social networking sites and social media sites
(e.g., Facebook), blogs, wikis, folksonomies (e.g., Flickr), video
sharing sites (e.g., YouTube), Web applications ("apps"), collaborative
platforms, and mashup applications. Many technologies such as HTML 5,
CSS3, AJAX and client-side scripting helped to bring these ideas into
practice.
Moreover, the current Web can be seen as an evolutionary step from Web
2.0 in that access to content is nowadays ubiquitous, content itself is
far more heterogeneous, and "users" come in mixed and different
flavours. First, ubiquitous access has been mainly pushed by the
inception of mobile computing and mobile devices. Second, served and
published Web content is not only following traditional interchange
formats (i.e., text, images, video), but also executable code or Web
APIs (e.g., ProgrammableWeb.com), from which new applications can be
built and in turn published back to the Web. The recent notion of "Web
of objects", which finds its root in Web-accessible Internet-of-Things
(IoT) applications, promotes the interconnection of hardware elements
capable of producing huge amounts of sensor data. Last, the role of Web
application end users and Web developers/designers is somewhat blurry,
due to modern Web technologies that greatly simplify the
creation/deployment of rich Web sites that might consume Web-accessible
services. In addition, the advent of Semantic Web technologies pave the
way to the creation of intelligent applications, and thus the tandem
human user-Web browser is no longer the only way to take advantage of
the Web content. These technologies help the migration to Web 3.0. In
this context, novel approaches and techniques, new tools and frameworks
are needed to address the increasing complexity of the Web that is
coming and the applications therein.
This track aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from
industry and academia working on both foundational and practical aspects
of Web technologies, as well as other technologies that in the Web
ecosystem have found new and unexpected application fields. We seek
original, unpublished contributions that are mainly focused on, but not
necessarily limited to, the following aspects of Web technologies:
- Hypertext, Hypermedia, Markup Languages, and XML-Related Technologies
- Federated Social Web Software and Protocols
- Performance, Scalability and Quality of Service on the Web
- (Process-Aware) Web Information Systems
- Web Searching
- Web Metrics, Monitoring and Analysis
- Web Browsers and Web Interfaces
- Web Personalization and Accessibility
- Web Mining
- Rich User Experiences and Human Computer Interaction in Web Applications
- Semantic-Enhanced Web Applications
- Mobile Web, Webapps, and Cross-device Content Delivery
- Web Application Integration: Micro/Rest Services and Data
Interchange/API Description Formats
- Web Technologies in IoT Devices and Cyber-physical Systems
- Virtualization and Containerization for the Web
- Modeling, Design, and Engineering of Web Applications
- Architectures, Architectural Styles, and Middlewares for Web Applications
- Online and Offline Testing Techniques for Web Applications and Interfaces
Proceedings and Post-Proceedings
--------------------------------
Papers/posters accepted for the Web Technologies track will be published
by ACM both in the SAC 2022 proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library,
which ensures excellent visibility.
Paper/poster registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the
paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy
attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the
paper/poster to be included in the ACM digital library. No-show of
registered papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM
digital library.
Student Research Competition (SRC) Program
------------------------------------------
Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts (maximum of 4
pages in ACM camera-ready format) following the instructions published
at SAC 2022 website. Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks
is not allowed.
All research abstract submissions will be reviewed by researchers and
practitioners with expertise in the track focus area to which they are
submitting. Authors of selected abstracts will have the opportunity to
give poster and oral presentations of their work and compete for three
top-winning places. The SRC committee will evaluate and select First,
Second, and Third place winners. The winners will receive medals, cash
awards, and SIGAPP recognition certificates. Invited students receive
SRC travel support and are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP Student
Travel Award Program (STAP) for additional travel support.
Paper Submission
----------------
Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be
considered. This includes three categories of submissions:
- original and unpublished research;
- reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences,
engineering, business, government, education, and industry;
- reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.
Each submitted paper will undergo a (double) blind review process and
will be refereed by at least three experts. To ease the blind review,
you shall remove author names and any information that might divulge
authors' identity from your paper before submitting it.
Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the ACM SAC 2022
proceedings.
The camera-ready version of the accepted paper should be prepared using
the ACM format (guidelines are given on the SAC 2022 Web site).
Accepted full papers should not exceed 8 pages in a double column format
(with the option to add two more pages at extra charge).
