The topics of the papers submitted to WebMedia are also topics of interest to the technology teams of small, medium, and large companies, which today need to continuously deliver innovative products and services. However, the scientific community that attends WebMedia does not always have the opportunity to learn about and discuss these topics of common interest to technology professionals at these companies.

Recognizing the value and interest that practical experiences and real-life case studies, experienced in companies, can bring to the scientific community, the Coordination of the Program Committee, together with the General Organization of WebMedia 2022, decided to innovate and create WebMedia in Practice (WiP). Teams from various technology companies were invited to submit short papers describing practical experiences in the topics of interest. We are privileged to have articles from four very prestigious companies — Americanas, Globo, JusBrasil and Localiza. In order to maximize interactions between the various WebMedia participants, papers accepted for WiP will be presented in the technical sessions of the WebMedia 2022 main track.

We hope that WiP enhances the virtuous cycle of transforming research project results into market solutions that can positively impact people’s lives!
