PWT 2014 - IEEE 2014 International Workshop on Personalized Web Tasking (PWT 2014)

This workshop is the second in a series that originated in the IEEE World Congress on Services 2013. The objective of the PWT workshop is to develop a community of people who are interested in the overlap between web services (as interoperable and easily composable components) and configurable personalizable applications. On the one hand, the core web-service community focuses primarily on enabling/supporting the processes around building distributed systems using services as the basic building blocks. On the other hand, user-centric communities have long been interested in enabling end users to customize their own experience using web resources, context-aware computing, and adaptive software, among others. Our aim is to focus the discussion on the overlap between the two areas and to bring together all aspects of research relevant to this overlap.
The objective is to develop solutions that will enable the delivery of smart personalized services in healthcare, education, government and business.
The workshop will be highly interactive so that participants can engage in stimulating dialogue regarding the fundamental principles, state of the art, critical challenges and future outlook of personalized web-based tasking for users.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
List of Topics
the transparent automation of repetitive and mundane tasks;

the coordination of small groups based on shared context;
technologies for web-based application development;
context-aware computing;
Internet of Things, mobile computing, pervasive computing;
semantic web, linked data;
