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

The purpose of QWE is to assess the effectiveness of existing approaches for evaluating and managing the quality of Web resources (review guidelines, 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 and get to know the most innovative and advanced experiences for guaranteeing the quality of Web applications. Special emphasis will be posed on Web Engineering methods, the way they improve the development process and the quality of final applications, the way they can be further empowered by taking into account quality principles and by integrating sound quality assessment methods. One of the main goals of this year?s edition will be to discuss the impact of these issues in modern Web applications, commonly referred to as Web 2.0 applications.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

* Quality guidelines, factors, criteria, metrics, patterns, and recommendations
* Ergonomic/HCI criteria and principles
* Usability and accessibility criteria
* Information quality dimensions
* Web sources reputation and trustworthiness
* Quality of information integration on the Web
* Management of quality requirements in Web projects
* Quality assessment and improvement methods
* Integration of quality assessment activities in the development processes
* Early quality assessment (e.g., based on models, user interfaces prototypes, etc.)
* Tools for automatic quality assessment
* User Experience
* Comparative analysis of quality metrics
* Theoretical/empirical validation of quality metrics
* Empirical studies
