Aims of workshop
• The aims and goals of this workshop are to not only
discuss and debate Web 2.0-based services, but also
to see their purpose, usefulness, and what will happen
to them in the future!
• Each day their will be a bunch of talks, from a range
of speakers, that will help us look at the types of
services being used, we can have views/opinions about
them, and assess what will happen to them in the
future.
• It will be also be interesting to see the emerging
services that are being developed and whether Web
2.0 becomes Web 3.0!

Aims of workshop
• The Web 2.0 theme includes – services, usersengagement/views and applications.
• Part of the Web 2.0 theme is related to creating a
book that includes technological aspects and essays
that describe, discuss and debate the various area
that are related to the theme.
• From all the contributors of the theme, we would be
very keen to gather and published “unbias” views and
opinions about areas discussed and presented at the
workshops.
• I am in contact with “Tim O'Reilly” and looking to see
if we can get a book published under O'Reilly.
