Program for the W3C Workshop on Declarative Models of Distributed Web Applications
This is subject to change. Please send questions to
<team-ubiwebws-submit@w3.org>.
You can find the main workshop page and list of
position statements nearby.
The plan is to split time between presentations and discussion
periods on particular topics. A workshop dinner is planned at a nearby
venue on the evening of Tuesday, 5th June.
Volunteers will be welcomed for scribing the workshop, as it
is customary to make a public record available after the workshop
end. We also plan to make the presentations public so please be
prepared to provide us with copies, either via email or via a USB
thumb drive. A wireless network will be available during the meeting.
Note that the topics for the discussion periods are still to be confirmed,
but see the list of suggested topics below.
Minutes

Some possible discussion topics
In no particular order. We will pick off items according
to participant's interests. We may also be able to use some
of the discussion time for break-out groups that then report
back.
- Multi-level architecture for portable user interfaces
- How XForms and DIAL fit into this picture
- The role of state transition models for declarative UIs
- Possible synergies between XForms and SCXML
- Relationship to Model Driven Approaches and UML/MDE
- Policies for layout and behavior
- Goal based approaches for constructing pages
- Security use cases, requirements and directions
- End-to-end declarative programming models
- Constraint-driven process flows
- Unification of multimodal and multidevice interaction
- Support for device adaptation
- SCXML-based flows
- How are declarative methods surfaced for developers
of Web applications?
- The logistics of involving users in development cycles.
Is it always practicable, and if not how can this be
addressed?
- Designer's role; implicit and explicit features in
device independent mark up languages
- Which components are missing from W3C's toolkit?
- Modeling long running dynamic user interfaces and
their relationships with data
- The legacy of existing devices and the existing Web,
compared to the things that are going to be built in the next 5 years
- Others as based upon papers/statements of interest etc.
