WECU 2010

1st International Educators' Day on Web Engineering Curricula

July 6, 2010, Vienna, Austria

http://wecu.webengineering.org/2010/

************************************************************************

Web methodologies and technologies are evolving at a constantly high pace. It is essential for academics on the one side, to provide proper education for students at the undergraduate and graduate level. At same time, industry is struggling to get adequately trained engineers that are able to deal with the increasing complexity of today’s Web applications.

The Educators' Day on Web Engineering Curricula (WECU 2010) will be organised as a half-day event held in conjunction with ICWE 2010 (http://icwe2010.webengineering.org/), which takes place from July 5-9, 2010, in Vienna, Austria.

WECU attempts to get together people from academia and industry to discuss best practise in teaching, education and vocational training of Web Engineering methodologies and technologies.

The expected outcome of the event is to identify common concepts and building blocks for successful Web Engineering curricula, to discuss proposals of how to deal with the challenges in Web Engineering education, e.g., technology evolvement, and to discover ways of transferring new Web Engineering evolvements into continuing education in industry.

Another main objective of the event is to act as a kick-off event for a Memorandum for Web Engineering Curricula. The organizers want to assemble this Memorandum for Web Engineering Curricula based on the findings from papers and discussions of the event. In this way, we hope to inspire and facilitate proposing new educational programs in Web Engineering.

**** IMPORTANT DATES ****

* Apr 28, 2010: Paper Submission Deadline * May 21, 2010: Notification of authors * June 7, 2010: Camera-ready submission

**** TOPICS OF INTEREST ****

This event will address aspects relevant to curriculum development, university education, and continuing education in Web Engineering and will focus on the following topics:

* Development of curricula in the field of Web Engineering& Web Science * Lessons learned from established Web Engineering curricula * Reference curricula for Web Engineering * Relevant topics of Web Engineering curricula * Interdependencies and differences between Web Engineering curricula and Software Engineering curricula * Interdependencies and differences between Web Engineering curricula and Web Science curricula * Web Engineering as a bachelor/master study versus Web Engineering master set on top of a bachelor of computer science * Level of expertise needed from other disciplines (e.g., economical, social, and legal aspects) * Coping with the rapid evolution of Web technologies (degree of flexibility of curriculum& courses) * Reference Web applications as running examples throughout a Web Engineering curriculum * Bringing Web Engineering techniques and methodologies to industry (life long learning, vocational training) * Web as a means for education (distance/blended learning) * Web Engineering& gender aspects

**** SUMBISSION INSTRUCTIONS ****

Submitted papers must comprise substantial discussion with respect to the goal and the topics of the educators' day and must be well motivated and presented.

* Length: Papers must not exceed 10 pages. * Format: Paper submissions are to be formatted according to Springer's LNCS guidelines (see instructions on ICWE website). * Submission: Authors are requested to use the WECU submission site at EasyChair for the submission of the PDF version of their papers: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wecu2010 Papers have to include the authors’ name, affiliation and contact details.

Papers will be reviewed internationally and selected based on their originality, significance, correctness, relevance, and clarity of presentation, as well as with respect to their ability to generate discussions between the participants of the workshop.

At least one author of an accepted paper is required to register for the event.

**** PUBLISHING ****

All accepted workshop papers will be published on-line at the CEUR Workshop proceedings website (ISSN 1613-0073). Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended and revised version to a special issue of the Journal of Web Engineering (JWE) published by Rinton Press.
