cfp: 3rd International Workshop on Web Dynamics in conjunction with |WWW2004

         CALL FOR PAPERS

3rd International Workshop on Web Dynamics

     www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/webDyn3/

    In conjunction with WWW 2004,
   New York, 17th or 18th May 2004

The World-Wide-Web is now a ubiquitous, global tool, used for finding
information, communicating ideas, carrying out distributed computation, and
conducting business, learning and science. 

The web is highly dynamic in the quantity and nature of the information that
it encompasses, posing a host of challenges in managing distributed
information and computation over the web.  There is a need to understand how
the topology, information content and usage of the web change, and to develop
techniques for organising and manipulating web information which can handle
and exploit its inherent dynamics.  Access to the web may be from a variety of
devices and interfaces, by different users at different locations, and at
varying times.  There is thus also is a need for techniques which dynamically
adapt information presentation to the mode of access and to the specific user
requirements.

Motivated by these challenges, we organised the first and second workshops 
on Web Dynamics in 2001 and 2002 (see www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/webdyn and 
www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/webdyn2).

The four key areas of interest to this third workshop are:
* evolution of web structure and content,
* web search and navigation in the face of the changing web,
* handling events and change on the web, and
* personalised access to the web.
