APWeb 2006

APWeb'06 is the eighth in this series of international conferences on WWW Technologies. It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from both academic and industry to exchange knowledge on WWW-related technologies and new advanced applications. Previous APWeb conferences were held in Beijing (1998), Hong Kong (1999), Xi'an (2000), Changsha (2001), Xi'an (2003), Hangzhou (2004) and Shanghai (2005).

APWeb 2006 features 5 invited keynote speeches by internationally renowned research leaders, a panel with leading researchers, 56 regular papers and 42 short papers selected from 413 submissions, two advanced seminars, two industry sessions, two demo sessions, three special sessions on e-water, and four research workshops.

APWeb 2007 will be combined with WAIM 2007. In collaboration with ACM SIGMOD and the Database Society of China, the combined APWeb/WAIM 2007 Conference will be an officially associated conference of ACM SIGMOD/PODS 2007 (to be held in July 2007, Beijing, China). APWeb/WAIM 2007 will be held immediately after SIGMOD/PODS 2007, in the beautiful mountain area of Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain) – the only dual World Heritage listed area in China for its astonishing natural beauty and rich and well preserved culture.
