related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work
and its contribution to the field. Papers will be peer-reviewed by at
least 3 reviewers from an International Program Committee. Accepted
papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and will also be accessible
to the general public via http://www2004.org/. Authors are not

POSTERS

Posters provide a forum for late-breaking research, and facilitate
feedback in an informal setting. Posters are peer-reviewed. Formatting
and publication details will be available on http://www2004.org/.

The poster area provides an opportunity for researchers and
practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent Web-related
research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal
setting. It gives conference attendees a way to learn about innovative
works in progress in a timely and informal manner.

TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS

A program of tutorials will cover topics of current interest to Web design, 
development, services, operation, use, and evaluation. These half and full-day 
sessions will be led by internationally recognized experts and experienced 
instructors using prepared content. 

Workshops provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, leaders, and
practitioners to explore current Web R&D issues through a more focused and
in-depth manner than is possible in a traditional conference session.
Participants typically present position statements and hold in-depth
discussions with their peers within the workshop setting.  

DEVELOPERS DAY

Developers Day (D-Day) will be devoted to the interests of Web developers, and 
will offer in-depth discussions of technologies and tools at the forefront of 
the Web. This day-long program will consist of several parallel streams focused 
on specific content areas. D-Day sessions are designed to be timely and 
state-of-the-art.
