The WISE Special Topics is an important track of the WISE conference. It 
brings together researchers, practitioners, industry experts and 
government actors to present and discuss their recent research results 
and innovations in specific areas or topics around the web that have a 
particular importance and potentially touch the lives of people in 
important ways. Special topics will be presented in special sessions 
during the conference.
The evaluation criteria and quality level of the main conference apply 
also to the papers received in the special topics track. Received papers

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
