Call For Papers

The Web Conference 2026 (International World Wide Web Conference) is a CCF A / CORE A* / QUALIS A1 conference held in Dubai, UAE on 2026-04-13. The paper submission deadline is 2025-09-30. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-01-13.

Scope

The scope of the conference is the Web and how it has crucially enabled new research and applications. While the Web feeds on and is part of a broader interdisciplinary ecosystem, including technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and many others, it remains a distinct scholarly field, with its own research methods, tools, and challenges. A typical Web Conference paper should have an explicit focus on at least one of the following:

    understanding, evaluating, and improving the Web as a technical infrastructure; including core Web technologies, standards, and platforms
    understanding, evaluating, and improving the Web as a socio-economic system;
    understanding better the impact of the Web and Web technologies;
    democratizing access to Web content and technologies, making it more accessible, fair, inclusive, and accountable to a wide range of audiences

Relevance

Every submission must clearly state how the work is relevant to the Web and to the track in the first page. Submissions that merely use a Web artifact---e.g., a dataset or a Web Application Programmer Interface (API) or a social network---rather than answering a specific Web-related scientific research challenge, are out of scope and will be desk-rejected.

Tracks

Our research interests are organized in the following tracks:

    Economics, online markets and human computation
    Graph Algorithms and Modeling for the Web
    Responsible web
    Search and retrieval-augmented AI
    Security and privacy
    Semantics and Knowledge
    Social networks and social media
    Systems and infrastructure for Web, mobile and WoT
    User modeling, personalization and recommendation
    Web mining and content analysis
