INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND WEB ENGINEERING (IJITWE)
SPECIAL ISSUE ON Visualization and Integration on the Web
*EXTENDED SUBMISSION DATE*: September 24th, 2011
Aims and Scope
--------------
Recent years witnessed a proliferation of semi-structured, structured,
and semantically annotated data on the Web: an increasing amount of
individuals, public organization and enterprises, is currently
publishing information for free usage. The nature and the abundance of
such structured data shifts the nature of user interactions, where
models based on navigation of documents are replaced by paradigms that
leverage the exploration of object repositories; in such a context,
providing a satisfactory user experience has proven to be a challenging
task for application developers. In addition, as the richness and value
of data also increases, Web applications must provide users with
visualizations and interaction paradigms that leverage properties such
as the underlying data relationships, source type, provenance, and
quality. Contextually, the availability of a wide spectrum of high-level
data integration tools - such as mash-up platforms – has offered to
developers (and to end users) several means for the integration of such
data, enabling novel applications and business scenario. The usage of
the Web as a common publication, mediation, aggregation, and consumption
platform decreased the existing gap between Web and enterprise
applications, which often leverage common data integration methodologies
and tools. As a consequence, a deeper understanding of data integration,
visualization and user interaction issues is becoming more and more
compelling in applications design and development. In order to tackle
the new challenges provided by a Web of Data, data integration,
visualization and user interaction methodologies and tools need to be
revised to effectively manage the design and the interaction application
with information.
The objective of this special issue is to review recent works that
address state-of-the-art of analysis and design techniques on how to
create effective Web applications where the integration, visualization
and interaction with data is a main concern, as well as the application
of assessed methods and techniques to existing design and development
environments.
Topics of Interest
------------------
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not
limited to) the following:
* Integration and visualization of heterogeneous data on the Web
* Interfaces for Web-scale and large-scale data repositories search and
exploration

* Visualizations for multimodal interaction
* Tools for Web data visualizations
* Applications: Search, Semantic Web, Social Web and Web 2.0, Adaptive
and personalized Web applications, SaaS, Business Intelligence, Data
Warehouse
