  consist of refereed technical papers, tutorials, workshops, posters,
  a W3C track, and a Developer's Day track.  Technical papers present
  original reports of substantive new work in areas that can be
  theoretical (models, analysis techniques, semantics), empirical
  (experiments, case studies), or implementation-oriented (new systems,
  tools, methodologies, user interfaces).  Papers should properly place
  the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the
  innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the development
  of the WWW.  Papers will be refereed by an international Program
  Committee.
