======================================================================
The focus of the track titled "Web Computing and Applications (WeCA)" is 
on emerging and novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies 
for information management related to the Web and cloud computing. 
In essence, the Web, with its different versions, has created an interconnected 
world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed 
collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be formed to 
achieve efficiency and improve performance, etc. Taking full advantage of these 
interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging 
applications requires solutions that address new issues and challenges.

The track calls for research papers and reports related, but not limited, 
to the following topics:

** Data semantics **
