your work on Web/REST APIs at WS-REST2014?

Dear REST enthousiasts,

All of you on this list are undoubtedly creating fascinating things with Web/REST APIs.
Did you realize that many people want to know more about the work you’re doing?

If you submit your work to the WS-REST workshop, upon acceptance,
you get to present it in front of a highly specialized and curious audience.
This is a unique opportunity for them, and a rewarding experience for yourself.

Consider submitting a paper on your topic to the WS-REST workshop.
Several frequent posters of this list, including Mike Amundsen, Steve Klabnik and Erik Wilde,
are part of the expert team that will review your paper with great attention.

In case you wonder whether your interests match, don’t hesitate to drop me an e-mail.

WS-REST 2014 – Fifth International Workshop on Web APIs and RESTful Design
WWW2014 – 7 April 2014 – Seoul, Korea

Who?    Web researchers and engineers working on API servers and clients
What?   A full-day workshop on current and future challenges for Web APIs and their interaction
Why?    Web APIs are more important than ever, yet many unsolved problems demand our attention
When?   Full-day workshop on 7 April 2014 – paper submissions before 7 January (hard deadline)
Where?  At the WWW2014 conference in Seoul, Korea


Thousands of APIs exist and their number is growing tremendously, while use cases become increasingly complex. In contrast to the human-oriented part of the Web, Web APIs are designed to be used by machines. This makes issues surrounding their design and integration significantly different from those of the traditional Web. However, this also enables the provisioning of new added-value automated solutions on the Web.
The discussion surrounding Web APIs and RESTful services is often held outside of research communities. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners by providing an open discussion forum around the design and use of the programmable Web. It is the principal venue for discussing latests findings and research and development results around the issues, practices, and best principles surrounding Web APIs design and their use.


# PRESSING TOPICS #
We especially welcome research and engineering work in the following areas:
- development of intelligent and generic Web API clients
- dynamic combination of and interactions between Web APIs
- novel hypermedia-driven solutions
- tackling the tremendous growth and heterogeneity of APIs
- analysis and understanding of the social and economic factors surrounding the development, use, and adoption of Web APIs and mashups
- novel solutions for the automated discovery and profiling of Web APIs
- novel technologies for facilitating the development of mashups and services for the Web of Things
- lessons learnt from the deployment, maintenance and evolution of Web APIs and mashups


# ALL TOPICS #
In addition to the topics above, this workshop is also open to:
- applications of the REST architectural style to novel domains
- design patterns and anti-patterns for Web APIs
- automated Web API composition
- inverted REST (REST for push events)
- integration of pub/sub with REST
- REST-compliant transaction models
- frameworks for Web API implementation and consumption
- modeling Web APIs
- resource design and granularity
- evolution, versioning and extension of Web APIs
- REST-protocols beyond HTTP


# DETAILS AND DEADLINES #
We welcome full papers (8 pages) and vision papers (4 pages) in the WS-REST ACM template,
available at http://ws-rest.org/2014/cfp.
