• To provide a forum for established researchers and practitioners to present past and current research contributing to the state of the art of Web technology research and applications.
• To give doctoral students an opportunity to present their research to a friendly and knowledgeable audience and receive valuable feedback.
• To provide an informal social event where Web technology researchers and practitioners can meet.
