Microsoft only developed Katana/Owin partially and then realized they had to dump ASP.NET WebForms/MVC/Web API/SignalR completely and embraced the new design, ASP.NET Core.

Thus, you can only use Katana to self host Web API and SignalR officially from Microsoft. But third party vendors, such as Cassini, allow you to bundle the web server with your web app, which is another approach to achieve self hosting,

It's not possible, I go into the details here http://keyoti.com/blog/asp-net-v5web-apivnextowin-a-beginners-primer-part-1/ but basically Web Forms uses System.Web assembly, and System.Web is coupled to IIS.

You can however self host MVC with ASP.NET 5, if that is any use.
