********************************************************************************
The "Quality in Web Engineering" workshop (QWE) is aimed 
at bringing together professionals and researchers 
interested in discussing recent trends and perspectives in 
the role of quality in Web Engineering. The purpose of QWE 
is to assess the effectiveness of existing approaches for 
evaluating and managing the quality of Web resources 
(e.g., quality models, quality evaluation methods, 
information quality tools, logging tools, automatic metric 
capture tools, etc.), with the final objective of allowing 
researchers and practitioners to discuss recent trends and 
open issues. Special emphasis will be posed on Web 
Engineering methods, and the way in which their early 
artifacts (process and product models) can improve both 
the quality of the development process and the quality of 
the final applications and content.
This year’s edition will also extend its scope to target 
the broader concept of quality both in Web processes, Web 
artifacts, Web products (applications, services) and in 
Web content. In particular, the workshop will try to 
encourage the discussion on the current trends in the 
creation of modern Web applications, commonly referred to 
as Web 2.0 applications.

More information on the Workshop can be found at the 
Workshop Web site: http://www.dsic.upv.es/workshops/qwe12

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

* Quality definition and assessment
-Information quality dimensions: estimation of information 
age, provenance, validity, coverage, and completeness or 
correctness.
- Web sources reputation and trustworthiness
- Quality assessment and improvement methods
- Comparative analysis of quality metrics
- Theoretical/empirical validation of quality metrics
- Tools for automatic quality assessment
* Quality-aware design and development
- Quality guidelines, factors, criteria, metrics, 
patterns, and recommendations
- Ergonomic/HCI criteria and principles
- Usability and accessibility
- Quality of information integration on the Web
- Management of quality requirements in Web projects
- Role of groups, communities
- Integration of quality assessment activities in the 
development processes
- Early quality assessment (e.g., based on models, user 
interfaces prototypes, etc.)
- User Experience
- Empirical studies
- Industrial experiences

Papers focusing on Web 2.0 applications are especially 
encouraged. However, contributions focusing on more 
traditional Web domains are also welcome.

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

The proceedings of ICWE 2012 workshops will be published 
by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science 
series. Paper length is 12 pages. For formatting 
guidelines and submission instructions please consult the
