"THE ACTIVE WEB"
(full programme now available, see below)
Wednesday 20 January 1999
The Octagon,
Staffordshire University, UK

OVERVIEW
The web is changing. Its pages are no longer static, but moving,
changing, interacting. Even as we watch, it is evolving from an
information repository into a distributed interface to a global
networked computational engine. But this change has its price.
- Can users understand what they are seeing?
- What is the appropriate technology?
- How do we ensure that the goals and objectives of our highly dynamic
and interactive sites are met?
To find correct answers to these, as with all design problems, we must
surely match the technology to the needs. Sometimes, for marketing or
image reasons this means using the newest technology just because it is
the newest and sexiest. But when functionality and usability matter it
is likely to mean using a blend of technologies and often a socio-
technical solution, involving, dare we say it, people!
This day conference, appropriately termed "The Active Web", will focus on
issues surrounding dynamic interfaces for the Web. Papers were invited
from practitioners and researchers on (but not limited to) the following:
- Design approaches and techniques suitable for dynamic web content
- Usability studies regarding active web front-ends
- Effective use of client/server technologies and standards - e.g.
HTML, DHTML, XML, DOM, Pull/Push, Multimedia, Scripting (CGI, ASP,
PERL, ...), Java (applets/servlets), plug-ins and database driven pages.
- Personalisation at the web interface
- Dialogue persistence and state
- Intelligence and knowledge-based support
- Web accessibility
- Multi-lingual approaches
- E-commerce solutions
- Software tool support
Accepted papers will be distributed as extended abstracts at the
conference and subsequently we intend to publish a book based on full
papers and additional material.

In addition to the spoken paper presentations below, various posters and
demonstrations will be available for viewing during the breaks.
