Universidad de las Américas-Puebla Cholula, México http://ict.udlap.mx/la-web2006
LA-Web 2006 is the fourth of a series of refereed conferences aimed
at
providing a venue in Latin America for researchers and technologists
from around the world to present, demonstrate and discuss the latest
Web developments. Previous editions of LA-Web have taken place in
Santiago, Chile (2003),
São Paulo, Brazil (2004),
and Buenos Aires,
Argentina (2005). LA-Web 2006 will be held at the beautiful campus of
the Universidad
de las Americas-Puebla, in Central Mexico.
Posters are a great means for researchers and students to share
their work in an interactive forum by displaying the context and
preliminary results of their work in a visual manner. Posters also
promote direct contact among conference participants who share research
interests. Posters make research work visible during the entire
conference. Additionally, specific times for poster discussion will be
scheduled as part of the conference program.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Browsers and user interfaces
- E-commerce, E-Science, E-government and E-Learning
- Digital libraries
- Multimedia and hypermedia
- Mobility and ubiquitous web access
- Performance, reliability and scalability
- Search and data mining
- Semantic web
- Web engineering
- Collaboration and web communities
- Security, privacy and copyright issues
- XML and web services
- Collaborative tagging
- Blogging
- Web visualization
- Web usability
Poster submissions should provide a concise description of the work
to be presented, reporting original work in English. Authors must
follow the IEEE Conference Publications Manuscript Formatting
Guidelines (see
formatting instructions) and should not exceed two pages. One-page submissions are encouraged.
A digital version of all accepted poster submissions will be
provided to all conference participants. Additionally, presenters are
advised to provide printed leaflets or
brochures that conference participants may use for reference during or
after the
poster sessions. Visually attractive presentations are expected
