From 23-27 April, Inria is taking part in the 27th edition of the most prestigious international conference on the Web, The Web Conference, which this year is organised by the University of Lyon in partnership with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional council and the Lyon metropolitan authority, in collaboration with the Digital League and IW3C2. Fabien Gandon, leader of the Wimmics project-team, is co-president of the 2017 edition.
The Web Conference is an unmissable event to discover the future of the Web with visionary keynotes and the presentation of scientific research on the uses of digital technology, its societal impacts as well as emerging technologies. It is also the opportunity to learn about the latest technologies on subjects such as the Internet of Things, recommendation, referencing and artificial intelligence.
Created in 1994 in Geneva, The International World Wide Web Conference (WWW) was the first scientific conference for Web subjects. Since then, the event has continued to evolve and to bring together an increasing number of experts during its annual edition which is organised alternatively in Europe, Asia, Oceania and on the African continent (the 2017 edition took place in Perth in Australia).
This year, an exceptional number of applications were received concerning the scientific research themes: 1,461 subjects (abstracts) were proposed by 4,852 authors from 62 countries, and more than 1,150 scientific papers were submitted (an increase of 60% compared to a usual edition). Over 2,500 participants are expected to attend.
Inria is a conference partner and numerous researchers from the institute have actively participated in the organisation of the conference. They will be taking part in scientific conferences and will be there to present their work to you on the Inria stand, at number 27.
