Call for Papers
LA-Web 2007 is the fifth of a series of refereed conferences aimed at
providing a venue in Latin America for researchers and technologists from
around the world to present, demonstrate and discuss the latest Web
developments.

Previous editions of LA-Web have taken place in Santiago, Chile (2003), São
Paulo, Brazil (2004), and Buenos Aires, Argentina (2005), and Cholula,
Mexico (2006). LA-Web 2007 will be held in Santiago de Chile.

LA-WEB 2007 is endorsed by the IW3C2 International World Wide Web Conference
Committee and its proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society
Press. This year, the first day of LA-WEB will hold joint-sessions along
with SPIRE 2007.

We invite high quality papers describing original work in all areas of Web
research.

Submissions should report original work in English, should not have been
previously published and neither should they be currently under review for

theme, cite related work, and clearly indicate its innovative aspects and
contributions to the field.
