WWW2006
Fifteenth International World Wide Web Conference

Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Scotland, United Kingdom.
Tues May 23rd - Fri May 26th 2006

The Conference

Beginning with the first international WWW Conference in 1994, this prestigious series, organized by the International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2), has provided a public forum both for research into the infrastructure and applications of the World Wide Web and for the WWW Consortium (W3C) activities and initiatives.

The technical program will leverage the UK's research and industrial strength in Grid, E-Science and Cyberinfrastructure and will provide a strategic forum for the dissemination of new techniques and practices throughout the research community, the commercial sector and government agencies. The technical program will include refereed paper presentations, alternate track presentations, plenary sessions, panels, and poster sessions. Tutorials and workshops will precede the main program, and a Developers Day, devoted to in-depth technical sessions designed specifically for web developers, will be incorporated.

The Location

Edinburgh, said the writer Robert Louis Stevenson, is what Paris ought to be. Its magnificent architecture shifts from the lofty buildings of its medieval Old Town, as they tumble down the spine of the Royal Mile, to the grace of the Georgian New Town. Above it all, in its towering splendour, stands the Castle. Every step is a revelation - an alleyway which reveals an ancient courtyard, or a wynd which opens up a new panorama. And yet within this sweeping elegance is a compact city, a bustling city, above all a city which rewards every visitor.

I had never imagined that any city in these islands could be at once so beautiful and fantastic
JB Priestley

When I look out in the morning, it is as if I had waked up in Utopia
George Eliot

Great buildings rush up like rockets
GK Chesterton

Edinburgh is a cross between Copenhagen and Barcelona except in Copenhagen they speak more understandable English.
