Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. Papers must follow the ACM Proceedings Format, using one of the templates provided from the ACM Web site for Word and LaTeX2e. The font size, margins, inter-column spacing, and line spacing in the templates must be kept unchanged. Submissions are handled through EasyChair.
Papers submitted cannot exceed six pages in length, including reference and appendix.
This year's theme, Web of opinions: Truths, beliefs, and conflicts, emphasizes the unique nature of Web data, a large portion of which is contributed by human users, who naturally demonstrate diverging opinions and views, resulting in data that is often uncertain, unreliable, and conflicting.
