Welcome

The ACM Web Science 2014 Conference was hosted on the beautiful campus of Indiana University,Bloomington from June 23 to June 26, 2014.

Web Science studies the vast information network of people, communities,organizations, applications, and policies that shape and are shaped by the Web,the largest artifact constructed by humans in history. Computing, physical, andsocial sciences come together, complementing each other in understanding how theWeb affects our interactions and behaviors.

ACM Web Science 2015 will be held in Oxford, UnitedKingdom. Previous editions of the conference were held in Athens in2009, Raleigh, NC in 2010, Koblenz in2011, Evanston, IL in 2012, and Paris in2013.

The Proceedings of ACM Web Science 2014 are available on the ACM digitallibrary.

Dame Wendy Hall is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton, UK, and Dean of the Faculty of Physical and Applied Sciences. She has been a pioneer in the development of research on multimedia and hypermedia, digital libraries, Semantic Web, and the emerging discipline of Web Science. Her current research includes applications of the Semantic Web and exploring the interface between the life sciences and the physical sciences. In addition to her PhD from Southampton, Hall has honorary degrees from Oxford Brookes University, Glamorgan University, Cardiff University, the University of Pretoria, and the University of Sussex. She has served as Head of the School of Electronics and Computer Science at Southampton, Senior Vice President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, member of the UK Prime Minister's Council for Science and Technology, founding member of the Scientific Council of the European Research Council, President of the British Computer Society, and President of the ACM. She is a Fellow of the ACM, the Royal Society, the British Computer Society, the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the City and Guilds, and a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Through these UK and international leadership roles, Dame Wendy Hall has played a prominent role in shaping science and engineering policy and education. Various news organizations have listed her among the most influential women in IT and in the UK. Among her many honors we note the Anita Borg Award for Technical Leadership. Hall is a Founder and the Managing Director of the Web Science Trust.

JP Rangaswami

JP Rangaswami is Chief Scientist at Salesforce.com. He studied Economics and Statistics at St. Xavier's College, University of Calcutta, specializing in developmental economics. With a background in economics and financial journalism, Rangaswami has been a technology innovator and chief information officer for major financial firms, such as British Telecom and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein. Rangaswami was named CIO of the Year by Waters Magazine and CIO Innovator of the Year by the European Technology Forum.

Exhibit

Places Spaces: Mapping Science is meant to inspire cross-disciplinarydiscussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and scientificprogress on a global scale. Maps have an amazing power to help us understand,navigate, and manage both physical places and abstract knowledge spaces. Themaps in the Places Spaces exhibit range from groundbreaking historic maps,including a figurative map of Napoleans march to Moscow, to visualizations onthe cutting edge of the most current trends and dynamics, like a map of the USnational mood based ontweets and a mapillustrating linkages between eight different-language Wikipedias. The exhibitis a 10-year effort, with 10 new maps added each year, culminating in abreathtaking collection of 100 maps submitted by mapmakers across the globe.

Data Challenge

Update: the winners have been announced

The goal of the WebSci2014 Data Challenge is to encourage the submission ofinnovative visualizations of web data. For this purpose we are providing fourpublicly available datasets, cash prizes, and a place in the WebSci2014conference.

This section of the website provides periodic updates on the Challenge. For thedeadline, rules, prizes, judging criteria and other details, please see theCall for Participation. For details onthe datasets used in the Challenge, see thispage.
