Call for Papers
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the forthcoming WSSM Workshop. This year’s workshop places particular emphasis on the emerging interplay between generative AI and social media platforms. As AI‑based content generation reshapes Web Services, Web APIs, SNS ecosystems, Community Functions, and broader CyberWorld environments, new research questions arise in areas such as Microblogging, the Metaverse, and IoT‑generated media. We welcome high-quality submissions related to Mobile Services, Web Mashups, Information Retrieval, Data Mining, and modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, microservices, and web frameworks. We look forward to your valuable contributions to advancing this evolving field. Join us in shaping the future of web technologies!
Paper Submission
Authors should submit a paper to the workshops with a maximum of 12 pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. However, authors can add up to 2 extra pages with the appropriate fee payment. Papers must be prepared using the Lecture Notes Style of Springer Proceedings. Submission instructions can be found at the conference webpage at: https://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/conf/nbis/2026
