3 EDITORIAL Welcome letter
The International WWW Conference series provides the world with a premier forum about the development of the Web, the standardization of its associated techno- logies, and the Web’s impact on society and culture. These conferences bring together researchers, developers, users, policy makers and sellers... indeed all of you who are passionate about the Web and what it has to offer, now and in the future. Part of what is exciting about this series is the cross boundary and eclectic nature of the topics cove- red, and the opportunity it provides for exploration of new directions, both technologi- cal and social. After the success of www2012, Lyon will be the first city in the event’s history to host the conference twice and will introduce a number of innovations for this 27th edition:
The conference brand known as "WWW conference" will be shifting to become "The Web Conference". Being the premier conference on the web sciences but also the oldest, most renowned and selective in terms of its scientific value, the IW3C2 has chosen to rebrand it. And what would best describe this unique series but to define it as "The Web Conference"? A new host: The second higher education cluster in France, Université de Lyon has just been rewarded "initiative excellence" a label given by an international committee and funded by the French ministry of education and research, giving Université de Lyon a very strong position amongst other French and European universities.
since 2012 both the city of Lyon and more so the region have changed tremendously. The digital economy is growing faster than ever and it's the second digital area in France. The growth of the City and the development of its cultural equipment is symbolized by the opening of the wonderful brand new confluences museum and by a new skyline as towers are rising. The new confluence district is home to a smart city with not only smart buildings but an entire area becoming a smart district, host to several international experimentations. A new place: With a sharp focus on the exhibition we are introducing Hyper Spot, the very digital heart of the conference where you will not only exhibit and showcase but also be able to socialize, interact, recruit and experiment with all the Web stakeholders and makers. Do you want you be a part of it ? You have a rendez-vous in Lyon !

4 ? Building on the future of the Web… Since 1994 The Web Conference (formerly WWW conference) is the first (it exists since 1994), the most selective (ranked A+ with a 12% selection rate) and the most frequented in the world (an average of 1,500+ participants worldwide each year) scientific conference about the World Wide Web. For the first time in the history of the conference, thanks to the success of the www2012 edition, the conference will return in an organizing city. Lyon will once again host The Web Conference in 2018. THE VISIONARY CONFERENCE ON THE FUTURE OF THE WEB Since its early beginning, the conference serie has seen many projects rocketing up from research works to major solution or companies: • In 1998, Sergei Brin and Larry Page presented the PageRank algorithm; they created the Google search engine from this code idea a few months later. • In 2000, Andrei Broder and his fellow researchers released a scientific publication about the "Graph structure in the Web": it lays to improve many of the crawling and indexing algorithms for Web search. • In 2001, Badrul Sarwar and his fellow researchers proposed a new type of recommendation algorithm that is now integrated in many social networks and other everyday tools. In 2012, our keynote speakers covered several subjects that are today topical: - Neutrality of the Web by Neelie Kroes, - Open data & privacy by Tim Berners Lee. - Artificial intelligence by Chris Welty. THE CONFERENCE BRINGS TOGETHER ALL PLAYERS OF THE WEB Industrials, Private & Public Research and R&D, Investors, Politicians, Recruiters, Developers will discuss, exchange, share vision and build the Web of tomorrow. More than 50% of the attendance come from private companies. In particular, we expect delegates in these broad categories • Academics from computer science, web science, and digital humanities • Professionals from major tech companies such as Google, Microsoft Research, Facebook, Yahoo, Baidu, etc. • “Web developers, designers, game developers, editors and IT practitioners” • Government representatives and public servants • Business actors and entrepreneurs • Internationally regarded web experts • Innovators and futurists from across the world • Local and international students - perhaps your future employees!
