3rd edition of the international conference on Web Studies
The international conference on Web Studies is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed scientific gathering that investigates the World Wide Web as an object of inquiry. It conceives the Web as an expansive entity: an extended space that reaches every domain of life. Seen from different perspectives and disciplines, the components of the Web can be seized as data structures, algorithmic processes, visual surface, cultural uses, or artistic expressions.
Web Studies was initiated in 2010 and the first conference, WS.1, was organized at Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico). In 2018, the second edition, WS.2, took place in Paris (MSH Paris Nord) and this third edition, WS.3, will be celebrated in Tunisia (Hamamet). Since 2018 the WS conference is organized in cooperation with ACM SIGWEB.
