Call for Papers
About 25 years ago, the World Wide Web debuted on the Internet. Nowadays, it is an indispensable tool on our daily life. And more HTTP/2 came to appear as RFC 7540 in 2015. The aim of this new version is to leverage network resources aggressively and to reduce data transmission latency by using compressed headers, multiple data streams in a TCP connection, and a priority control over the streams. Thus, we will be able to build up a web service that utilizes more interactive experiences.
International Workshop on Web Services and Social Media (WSSM) encompasses a wide range of topics in the research, design, and implementation of Web related things, especially, social activity on the Internet. The first workshop on WSSM-2012 was held in Melbourne, Australia. And the 2nd in Gwangju, Korea, the 3rd in Salerno, Italy, and the 4th in Taipei, Taiwan. This time, we are honored to hold the 5th workshop on WSSM-2016 in Ostrava, Czech Republic in conjunction with the 19th International Conference on NBiS-2016.
