>works in progress in a timely and informal manner.
>
>TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS
>
>A program of tutorials will cover topics of current interest to Web
>design,
>development, services, operation, use, and evaluation. These half and
>full-day
>sessions will be led by internationally recognized experts and
>experienced
>instructors using prepared content.
>
>Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, leaders,
>and
>practitioners to explore current Web R&D issues through a more focused
>and
>in-depth manner than is possible in a traditional conference session.
>Participants typically present position statements and hold in-depth
>discussions with their peers within the workshop setting.
>
>DEVELOPERS DAY
>
>Developers Day (D-Day) will be devoted to the interests of Web
>developers, and
