Tutorial 1: Microformats for Open Data

Microformats provide a low-cost way to publish data on the web, which can enable the more advanced Semantic Web technologies by creating a larger base of published data, which can always be translated into another suitable format.
Microformats can be low cost, because they're built on top of XHTML, using its semantics, and allowing people to make the data they already publish in XHTML consumable by machines.
Tutorial 2: Web Cost Estimation, Productivity Assessment and Benchmarking
- Half-day Tutorial

Redwood Room A
Effort estimation, productivity assessment and benchmarking are essential elements to the effective management of Web projects. Unfortunately, they are not used effectively by a large number of Web companies, contributing to projects that are late and over budget. This tutorial presents these topics and how to apply them in practice. It provides an introduction and motivation for Web cost estimation, productivity assessment and benchmarking and then covers cost estimation techniques, Web sizing, estimation accuracy assessment, productivity measurement principles, productivity assessment of Web projects and benchmarking. Where possible, material is improved with real industrial case studies of real effort models and productivity baselines. The tutorial is targeted at researchers and practitioners who are interested in learning more about Web cost estimation, productivity assessment and benchmarking. The y intended audience does not need to have prior knowledge or experience of Web cost estimation or productivity assessment and benchmarking.
