There are many facets of Web 2.0 applications: user generated content (UGC), rich user interfaces, social networking, sharing and collaborative tagging, etc. The proliferation of Web 2.0 applications has attracted researchers both from computer science, humanities and social science. One important feature of Web 2.0 applications is that they could experience unprecedented growth of users that leads to a very successful "viral marketing". Though technologies of building Web 2.0 applications are maturing, what are common characteristics of Web 2.0 applications? What are problems and challenges of creating innovative Web 2.0 applications in terms of the underlying computing and service infrastructure, user community and business models? What kind of benefits could be obtained by Web 2.0 application developers by data mining, leveraging modeling and simulation manners? Here’s your chance to gather with other professionals and exchange ideas for the innovation of Web 2.0 applications. This workshop, sponsored by PDCAT, will be devoted to the modeling, simulation and analysis of real-size Web 2.0 applications and identify common solutions for creating scalable and successful Web 2.0 applications.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Modeling of Web 2.0 applications
- Tagging, recommendation and community identification
- Extraction and mining the Web 2.0 applications
- Social networks and social computing
- Architecture of Web 2.0 applications and cloud computing
- Internet-scale simulation
- Web traffic simulation
- Distributed search on Web 2.0
- Development methodology of Web 2.0 applications
We also encourage submissions which relate research results from other areas to the workshop topics.
