[TYPES/announce] ProWeb20: Final call for contributions

[Simon Fowler]

Please find the final call for contributions to ProWeb20 below. The ProWeb series seeks to provide a forum for programming languages and software engineering researchers working in the domain of web technologies.

In particular, please note that in addition to regular papers, we are soliciting 1-2 page presentation abstracts which can describe already-published work or work in progress; the format is designed not to preclude future publication. If you are working in this area, please do consider submitting---it would be excellent to get as many people working in this area in a room as possible!

ProWeb20: 4th International Workshop on Programming Technology for the Future Web
https://2020.programming-conference.org/track/proweb-2020-papers
Co-located with the <Programming> 2020 conference
March 23rd, Porto, Portugal
================

Full-fledged web applications have become ubiquitous on desktop and mobile devices alike. Whereas “responsive” web applications already offered a more desktop-like experience, there is an increasing demand for “rich” web applications (RIAs) that offer collaborative and even off-line functionality —Google docs being the prototypical example. Long gone are the days that web servers merely had to answer incoming HTTP request with a block of static HTML. Today’s servers react to a continuous stream of events coming from JavaScript applications that have been pushed to clients. As a result, application logic and data is increasingly distributed. Traditional dichotomies such as “client vs. server” and “offline vs. online” are fading.

** Call for Papers **
The ProWeb20 workshop is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share and discuss new technology for programming these and future evolutions of the web. We welcome submissions introducing programming technology (i.e., frameworks, libraries, programming languages, program analyses and development tools) for implementing web applications and for maintaining their quality, as well as experience reports about their usage. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

* Quality on the new web: static and dynamic program analyses, metrics, development tools, automated testing, contract systems, type systems, migration from legacy architectures, web service APIs, API conformance checking, ...
* Designing for and hosting novel languages on the web: compilation to JavaScript, WebAssembly, …
* Multi-tier (or tierless) programming: frameworks for isomorphic applications, new languages and runtimes, tier-splitting compilers, type systems, ...
* Data sharing, replication and consistency: cloud types, CRDTs, eventual consistency, offline storage, peer-to-peer communication, ...
* Security on the new web: security policies, policy enforcement, membranes, vulnerability detection, dynamic patching, ...
* Surveys and case studies using state-of-the-art web technology (e.g., WebAssembly, WebSockets, Web Storage, Service Workers, Meteor, WebRTC, Angular.js, React and React Native, TypeScript, Proxies, ClojureScript, Amber Smalltalk, Scala.js …)
* Ideas on and experience reports about: how to reconcile the need for quality with the need for agility on the web, how to master and combine the myriad of tier-specific technologies required to develop a web application, …
* Position papers on what the future of the web will look like

This year, we are accepting two types of submission:
* **Full papers and experience reports**: 6-page papers describing novel research, which, when accepted, will be included in the ACM Digital Library.
* **Presentation abstracts**: 1-2 page extended abstracts.

Presentation abstracts will not be included in the ACM Digital Library, but will be included in an informal pre-proceedings on the website. We very much welcome presentation abstracts about work already published elsewhere, or giving an overview of an existing system, and the format is designed not to preclude future publication.
Submissions should be in ACM SIGPLAN two-column format (see https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/). Page limits do not include bibliographies.
If you have any questions, or wonder whether your submission is in scope, please do not hesitate to contact the PC co-chairs.
