Abstract

Web Engineering has become an important research area, due to the unceasing growth of web sites and applications. New challenges must be faced to provide correct solutions to the problem of defining a precise process to go from requirements to a final software product of quality, all this in the context of a sound web-oriented software technology. This situation is influencing all the conventional areas of software engineering, that must be properly adapted to the particularities of Web Applications. For instance, UML-based Web Engineering, need of new mechanisms and techniques for elicitating and representing user requirements for the Web, methods for web-based development and web-based conceptual modeling, methods to evaluate the quality of web application production process and the quality of web products,... among others are issues that require solutions from both the development and the quality assurance point of view.

Addressing some of these issues, this work presents the conclusions of the discussions held in the Second Edition of the International Workshop on Web-Oriented Software Technology (IWWOST), held in Málaga, Spain, June 2002, as part of the European conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP). Following the tradition of previous editions, the workshop has been a rich forum of discussions, whose main results are presented structured in four main categories: UML-based web engineering, requirements engineering in the context of web applications, conceptual modeling for the web, and quality assessment for web production processes and products.

Each issue is developed starting from the motivation of the problem, followed by the introduction of diverse concrete, current, potential solution to the corresponding problems together to the relevant references.

This work is partially supported by the CYTED Program, in the VII.18 research project, WEST
