ICWE 2014 AT A
GLANCE
ICWE aims to bring
together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines
in academia and industry to tackle the emerging challenges in
the engineering of Web applications and in the problems of its
associated technologies, as well as the impact of those
technologies on society and culture. The 14th edition of ICWE is
centered around the theme of “Engineering the Web for users,
developers and the crowd”,
hereby highlighting the importance of all the different people
that, somehow, participate in the development process of
interactive Web applications and, ultimately, becomes the actors
and the main users of the best practices and results of the
research performed in the domain of the Web Engineering.
ICWE 2014 is innovating
with the introduction of six major research tracks: cross-media
and mobile applications, HCI and the Web, modelling and
engineering web applications, quality aspects of Web
applications, social web applications, and Web applications
composition and mashups.
In addition to the six
research tracks, ICWE 2014 also welcomes contributions as demos
and posters, student papers to the PhD Symposium, tutorials and
workshops, which will be subject of individual calls for papers.
The conference will be held at Toulouse, France Toulouse which
is the 3rd university city of France and it hosts one of the
oldest in Europe (founded in 1229). Further information on the
web site http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/.

RESEARCH TRACKS (further
details at http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/main-tracks/)
* Cross-media
and mobile Web applications
The modern Web use is
nomadic and across various devices - often simultaneously - and
the Web experience should be enjoyable, of high quality and
consistent across all devices, regardless of the purpose, place
and time of use. Such mobile, cross-device usage forces Web
developers to evolve or re-invent their engineering methods and
techniques to these new requirements and user demands. Web
applications have to be tailored to deal with the constraints
imposed by mobile technology such as small screens, low (and
sometimes expensive) bandwidth, limited browser capabilities,
different usage situations, cross- and multi-device use.
Simultaneously, modern mobile devices offer a rich set of
sensors, available through current Web browsers, allowing Web
pages access to geo-location, NFC, and other sensor data, as
well as tracking user identity across devices. Also, he rise of
the app as an alternative for Web sites is a concern to be
addressed to ensure a future, open Web.
* HCI
and the Web
Most Web applications are
conceived as interactive systems that aim at communicating with
users. Users do not only consume information via the Web, but
can also play an active role by contributing content (e.g., Web
2.0), get involved in the development process of Web
applications (e.g., agile and user-centered design processes)
and even conceive their own components by interacting with
specialized tools (e.g., end-user development tools). In this
context, there are many user roles involved in the
socio-technical environment encompassing the development of Web
applications. This track is devoted to the studies on user
interface software and technologies that improve the
relationship between users and Web applications. We welcome
research focused on improving usability, accessibility, and user
experience with Web applications, as well as user-centered
design approaches that describe how Web technology and
innovative design solutions can help users to better accomplish
their tasks over the Web.
* Modeling
and Engineering Web applications
The Modeling and
Engineering Web applications track concerns principles, methods,
notations, processes, approaches, and tools for supporting the
development and evolution of high-quality Web applications in a
more effective and efficient way. Model-driven approaches are of
particular interest for addressing complexity, scalability, and
maintainability of solutions for the development of Web
applications, improving communication among participants of the
development teams, and supporting the development of innovative
tools and process. Furthermore, empirical and comparative
studies of applying Web engineering methods and approaches,
especially model-driven ones, are of particular interest.
* Quality
aspects of Web applications
The development and usage
of Web applications in different platforms and devices are
continuously increasing. Web applications have become the most
predominant form of software delivery today, with users and
businesses choosing to rent or use software rather than buy it.
The success of such applications depends on their capability to
satisfy the customer needs. This has led to increased attention
on quality models, processes and methods that facilitate
understanding, evaluating, and especially improving the overall
quality of products, processes and quality in use.
* Social
Web applications
Social aspects are an
integral part of todays Web, and the widespread use of the Web
to connect, share and tap into collective knowledge provides a
wealth of actionable data. The crowd can be deployed in various
ways, i.e. the so-called crowdsourcing and human computation
applications, and their generated data is valuable for
developers, researchers and marketers alike. Successfully
tapping into the crowds knowledge, and gathering, analyzing, and
visualizing complex, heterogeneous social data, and putting it
to good use are major current challenges.
* Web
applications composition and mashups
Composition on the Web
aims to integrate Web services, Web data sources and Web widgets
into other Web services or Web applications. Mashups, and
especially mashup tools with their modeling languages and
instruments for mashup development, bring significant innovation
as they tackle integration across the data, API and user
interface layers; they aim at simplicity and ease of use rather
than completeness of features and full expressiveness (compared
to traditional Web programming languages and tools), but still
they allow fairly sophisticated development tasks in a Web
browser. Hereby, mashups represent an important and emerging
strain of Web applications, with their own set of research
challenges and opportunities.
