INVITATION FROM THE PROGRAM CHAIR

Dear Colleague,

You're invited to join us in Boston, June 23–24, 2010, for the first USENIX Conference on Web Application Development. WebApps '10 is a new technical conference designed to bring together experts in all aspects of developing and deploying Web applications.

Web-based applications are revolutionizing both the features that can be delivered and the technologies for developing and deploying applications. They also involve a diverse collection of issues and technologies. Take advantage of this new opportunity for interaction and synergy across these areas.

The program includes:

• Invited talks by industry leaders including Adam de Boor, Google, on "Gmail: Past, Present, and Future."
• Refereed papers on a variety of topics such as new approaches to Web frameworks, techniques for giving users control over their Web data, better ways of managing Ajax and Javascript, and a variety of security issues ranging from better CAPTCHAs to information flow tracking.
• A Poster Session and Happy Hour held jointly with USENIX ATC '10. The poster session provides a great way to let other people know about your work and to get useful feedback from the community. Submissions are due on June 13, 2010.
• Work-in-Progress Reports. If you have work you would like to share, a controversial opinion, or a cool idea that's not quite ready for publication, submit a WiP by June 13, 2010.

WebApps '10 is part of the USENIX Federated Conferences Week. Not only do you get a 2-day conference program filled with the latest research, but you'll also have additional opportunities to mingle with colleagues and leading experts in the combined Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) and at the various evening social events, vendor BoFs, and receptions.
