For
the past twenty years, the ACM
Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary gathering forum
for
applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers,
and
application developers from around the world. SAC 2008 is sponsored by
the ACM
Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, and is hosted this year by
the
University of Fortaleza (UNIFOR) and the Federal University of
Ceará (UFC).
Overview The increasing popularity and advances
in
Web technologies (XML, Web services, semantic Web, etc.) are enabling
the
development of new classes of applications and new trends in the design
of
Information Systems. This track focuses on emerging Web technologies,
architectures, and methodologies for building and managing advanced Web
information systems. The Internet and the related technologies have
created an
interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily,
tasks can be
processed collaboratively, communities of users with similar interests
can be
formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, while security
threats
are present more than ever before.
The
goal of this track is to bring together
researchers from academia and industry who are actively engaged both in
theoretical and practical aspects of Web Technologies. It will present
an
opportunity for researchers to get together and share recent
developments and
techniques in order to identify the critical problems and the most
promising
research avenues. This track addresses the challenging Web technologies
issues
focusing on exploring novel methods, techniques, and trends to build up
and
manage information systems. We solicit original research and industrial
papers
in the area of web-based information technologies with a special
interest in
the following topics:
Emerging Web technologies (e.g., Web 2.0 and AJAX)
Wireless mobile Web
Web Information Systems
Security, privacy, and trust of Web technologies
Quality of Web services
Web-Centric Systems
Web services
Software architectures for Web services
Business Process Integration
Web engineering
Service oriented architecture
Industrial experiences with Web technologies
Web Mining including Web Intelligence and Web
3.0
Web Databases
Web Metrics, Monitoring and Analysis
Case Studies on Web Services-based Applications
and Systems
Web-based applications and
solutions for
e-commerce & B2B
