WEB SYSTEMS EVOLUTION

Since 1999, the Web Systems Evolution (WSE) series of events
has provided a vibrant forum to present original work and
promote discussion on topics related to the disciplined
evolution of large-scale Web-based systems.

WSE attracts researchers and practitioners from different
domains, widely ranging from software maintenance and
evolution to Web engineering and service-oriented computing.

The technical program of WSE 2013 will include invited
talks, paper presentations, panel discussions, and working
sessions.

------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS

The special theme for WSE 2013 is architecture.

Over the last decade, since this theme was covered at WSE
2003 in Amsterdam, there have been profound advances related
to the architecture of Web systems, evolving them toward Web
2.0, service orientation, cloud computing, and mobile
platforms. We invite novel research on architectural
aspects in Web systems evolution.

WSE topics of interest also include, but are not limited to
the following areas of Web systems requirements, design,
development, and evolution:

* Architecture, models, patterns, quality attributes, and tradeoffs
* Analysis, understanding, reverse engineering, and reengineering
* Model-driven development and reengineering
* Migration to Web 2.0, Semantic Web, SOA, cloud computing, mobile platforms
* Evaluation, quality assessment, empirical studies, and economics
* Requirements elicitation and traceability
* Self-adaptive, context-aware, and autonomic features
* Testing, validation, and verification
* Security and privacy
* Accessibility, usability, and multilingual concerns
* Specialized tools, environments, technologies, and languages

------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION PROCESS

WSE invites the submission of full research papers or
experience reports (up to ten pages, IEEE CS proceedings
style, PDF file).

Also solicited are short papers (up to five pages, IEEE CS
proceedings style, PDF file), which can introduce novel
paradigms and early research results.

Abstracts and papers must be submitted online via the
EasyChair system. Submitted papers must not be under review
or been accepted for another event, journal, or book.

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wse2013

Accepted papers will be published in the symposium
proceedings, available at the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

In addition, authors of the best papers accepted will be
invited to produce an extended version for consideration in
a journal special issue (to be determined).

Proposals for panel discussions or working sessions can be
sent as an email inquiry to the Program Chairs.
