The World Wide Web is one of the most transformative technologies of modern times, changing the way we work, the way we communicate, the way we date, the way we interact with our government and just about every other aspect of modern life. Over 40% of the world's population use the Web - it has also become a primary engine of innovation and development for our nation, and around the world.

Alas, the Web also has a dark side -  kids are exposed to violence and pornography in a way they never have been before; bullies, criminals and terrorists use the Web in new and troubling ways; and we are being forced to rethink privacy and control of personal information in our ever-increasingly networked world.

Given the importance of the Web to the modern world, it is surprising for many people to discover how little we understand it at a deep, scientific level. Understanding the Web requires knowing it's math, it's social impacts, and how to engineer it's future. The Web has become a critical piece of international infrastructure; we must learn to understand it to keep it, not only functioning, but free, open, and enjoyable.

At the conference, 5 illustrious keynote speeches would be delivered by renowned Web scientists and 44 contributed papers would be presented. Besides, 3 tutorials and a workshop would be organized. Participants will also focus on regional and global impact of expanding Open Web platform for application development. Researchers from 26 nations have registered at this conference. Thus, the conference serves as an ideal international forum to discover recent technical advances, exchange of experience and to germinate innovations exploring new aspects of the existing web technology and its future applications.
