“Accessing the Web from anywhere and on any device(s)”
Description
The modern Web user uses the Web continuously, for a variety of professional and personal tasks. The use is nomadic and across various devices – often simultaneously – and the Web experience should be enjoyable, of high quality and consistent across all devices, regardless of the purpose, place and time of use. Such mobile, cross-device usage forces Web developers to evolve or re-invent their engineering methods and techniques to these new requirements and user demands. Web applications have to be tailored to deal with the constraints imposed by mobile technology such as small screens, low (and sometimes expensive) bandwidth, limited browser capabilities, different usage situations, cross- and multi-device use. Simultaneously, modern mobile devices offer a rich set of sensors, available through current Web browsers, allowing Web pages access to geo-location, NFC, and other sensor data, as well as tracking user identity across devices. The rise of the app as an alternative for many popular Web sites is a concern for the future of the open Web, and something that should be addressed in current Web research.
The aim of this track is to solicit contributions that address the aforementioned challenges and opportunities offered by any time (always on), any place and any device paradigm, as well as those related to mobile, context-aware, cross-device, cross-media and/or multi-device Web applications.
