The number of “foreign” language sites, the politics of the web, search engines and search techniques, cyber ethics, e-learning and e-commerce are but some of the topics of the 11th Annual Conference on World Wide Web Applications (ZA-WWW) to be hosted by Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University from 2 to 4 September 2009.

Coming to Port Elizabeth for the first time since it started more than a decade ago, the conference will stand out in terms of the extent and variety of new research results being shared between scholars and industry.

According to the local organising chairperson and senior lecturer at the NMMU School of Information and Communication Technology Ms Darelle van Greunen, the ZA-WWW stands out as a true multi-disciplinary event. “Researchers (academics and those from industry) are brought together from the wide spectrum of human knowledge: with web applications as the common denominator,” said Van Greunen. She said that the aim of the conference is to provide academics, researchers and web developers with an opportunity to describe and discuss innovative and fresh internet.

“The conference provides where ideas and experiences on a national and international basis are shared. It promotes networking and business opportunities, encourages study and use of the World Wide Web.”

Conference presentations at Pine Lodge Conference Centre will consist of addresses by invited keynote speakers, peer-reviewed papers on current research results, industry reports, new web-based product reviews by prominent businesses, research progress reports and poster presentations and tutorials.

Van Greunen said the conference also provides the opportunity to liaise with possible future business partners and build strong brands and visibility throughout South Africa through exhibitions.

People interested in booking exhibition space and those requiring more information, can contact Ms van Greunen on 041-5043313 or 0825642356 or send an e-mail message to Darelle.vangreunen[at]nmmu.ac.za.
