Current Trends in Web Engineering, ICWE 2010 Workshops

Continuing its consolidated and prestigious tradition, the tenth edition of the International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2010) complemented its research and industrial program with a selection of workshops extending the conference's program. The workshops o?ered Web engineering researchers and practitioners the opportunity for highly interactive sessions, which included - depth, topical presentations and discussions of emerging researchchallenges and preliminary results. This volume collects the contributions of the hosted wo- shops and the co-located Doctoral Consortium. Inlightoftheneedtoo?eranalwaysnovelandinterestingprogramre?ecting the emerging researchof the Web engineering community, we made a huge e?ort to renovate the conference's workshop program,to enlarge the choice to authors andparticipants,andtoattracthigh-qualitycontributions. TheWebengineering community is a constantly growing group that, on the one hand, is working on a setofconsolidatedtopicsand,ontheotherhand,isconstantlygettinginspiredby cutting edge technologies or societal trends.Thus, to enlarge the choice to both potential workshop organizers and authors, in designing this edition's workshop programwepursuedtwo goals:First,weaimedatprovidingthe typicalaudience ofICWEwithasetofworkshoptopicsthatre?ectthetraditionalinterestsofthe community and that are as wide and comprehensive as possible. We achieved this goal thanks to well-established workshops covering topics such as mod- driven development, quality and usability of Web applications, rich Internet applications (RIAs), and light-weight, component-based development of Web applications (e. g. , mashups). Second, we wanted to attract new audiences to the conference, selecting also novel workshops that cover topics of an emerging or foundationalnaturethatextendthefocusofICWEbeyonditstraditionaltopics. We reachedthis goalby betting onsubjects such asthe Semantic Web, semantic data management, the Internet of things, Web-enabled tourism, service-based compliance management, and e-crowdsourcing.
