In the continuous quest to improve the experience of users interacting with web systems, researchers and practitioners have identified several prerequisites, such as the transparent automation of repetitive and mundane tasks; the automated customisation of the experience to the user’s platform; and the personalisation of the interaction based on the user’s history, including spatiotemporal and social network context.
The topic of personal web tasking draws inspiring ideas from many diverse communities, including web services, RESTful system design, context-aware computing, sematic web, linked data, HCI, ubiquitous computing, workflow management, and W3C standards such as HTML5 and WebDriver.
This special issue seeks original and unpublished research papers regarding the fundamental principles, state of the art, and critical challenges of automation and personalisation aspects of web tasking, including the concepts, methods, services, architectures, frameworks and tools that can be used to support web tasking.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, models and algorithms for user-centric web task
management; architecture patterns and feedback control for web tasking; integration mechanisms for web task managers; role of resource-oriented architectures and RESTful services as well as hypermedia for implementing web tasking; formal notations for modelling, analysing and enacting web tasks; methods for engineering user-trust into web task management systems; methods to instrument and reengineer existing systems to manage web tasks over long periods of time; dynamical verification and validation of web tasks; and web tasking exemplars.
