Preliminary Call for Papers

HotWeb is a forum that brings together researchers and 
practitioners interested in the design, implementation, 
and evaluation of Internet systems and applications.  
The workshop seeks to act as a conduit for presentation 
of novel approaches used in support of performance,
scalability, and security of Internet applications, 
including Web searching and indexing, content distribution 
and delivery networks, Web services, and edge and grid 
computing.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 

+ Content delivery architectures 
+ Peer-to-Peer systems 
+ Support for mobile and wireless systems 
+ Web caching and replication 
+ Edge services and dynamic content delivery 
+ Multimedia content distribution 
+ Overlay networks 
+ Content placement and request routing 
+ Measurement studies of deployed systems 
+ Security and privacy 
+ Wide-area upload and content gathering 
+ Novel web-based applications 
+ Web/database integration 
+ Information retrieval and searching 
+ Electronic commerce 
+ Internet telephony 

The HotWeb workshop is the successor of the WCW (Workshop
on Web Content Caching and Distribution), and the WIAPP 
(Workshop on Internet Applications) workshops, both of 
which are merging to form HotWeb. 

HotWeb 2006 is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
(support pending) and will be held in Boston during the 
week of November 12, 2006.
