Workshop WWV 2008 logo
4th Int'l Workshop on Automated Specification and
Verification of Web Systems

Siena, Italy
July 4, 2008
Co-located with WFLP 2008

The increased complexity of Web sites and the explosive growth of Web-based applications has turned their design and construction into a challenging problem. Nowadays, many companies have diverted their Web sites into interactive, completely-automated, Web-based applications (such as Amazon, on-line banking, or travel agencies) with a high complexity that requires appropriate specification and verification techniques and tools. Systematic, formal approaches to the analysis and verification can address the problems of this particular domain with automated and reliable tools that also incorporate semantic aspects.

The WWV series provides a forum for researchers from the communities of Rule-based programming, Automated Software Engineering, and Web-oriented research to facilitate the cross-fertilization and the advancement of hybrid methods that combine the three areas.

TOPICS

We solicit original papers on formal methods and techniques applied to Web sites, Web services or Web-based applications, such as:
