Web engineering

Web Engineering, 2001

In most cases, development of Web-based systems has been ad hoc, lacking systematic approach and quality control and assurance procedures. Hence, there is now legitimate and growing concern about the manner in which Web-based systems are developed and their long-term quality and integrity. Web Engineering, an emerging new discipline, advocates a process and a systematic approach to development of high quality Web-based systems. It promotes the establishment and use of sound scientific, engineering and management principles, and disciplined and systematic approaches to development, deployment and maintenance of Web-based systems. This paper gives an introductory overview on Web Engineering. It presents the principles and roles of Web Engineering, assesses the similarities and differences between development of traditional software and Web-based systems, identifies key Web engineering activities and reviews some of the ongoing work in this area. It also highlights the prospects of Web engineering and the areas that need further study.

Web Engineering, an emerging new discipline, advocates a process and a systematic approach to development of high quality Web-based systems or applications. It promotes the establishment and use of sound scientific, engineering and management principles, and disciplined and systematic approaches to development, deployment and maintenance of Web-based systems [1]. Earlier Web-developers regarded Web Engineering as a specialized field of Software Engineering but it comprises more than it because every web application comprises content, hypertext structure and presentation for a possibly very divertive audience, web developers must supply a broad variety of domain knowledge. As Powel [2] writes Web-based systems ―involve a mixture between print publishing and software development, between marketing and computing, between internal communications and external relations, and between art and technology.‖In view of the nature of the Web and Web-based applications, Web engineering is bound t...

Modern Web applications are full-fledged, complex software systems. Therefore, the development of Web applications requires a methodologically sound engineering approach called Web Engineering. It is not clear, however, to which extent existing solutions from relevant areas, most notably software engineering can be reused as such for the development of Web applications and consequently, if Web Engineering is really a discipline on its own. This paper highlights the characteristics of Web application development as found in existing literature thus providing a prerequisite for analyzing the appropriateness of existing engineering solutions. The characteristics are categorized according to four dimensions, comprising the software product itself, its development, its use and evolution as a cross-cutting concern.

Inside a brief period, the Internet and World Wide Web have turned out to be universal, outperforming all other mechanical improvements in our history. They've likewise developed quickly in their extension and degree of utilization, altogether influencing all parts of our lives. Businesses, for example, assembling, travel and cordiality, banking, instruction, and government are Web-empowered to improve and upgrade their activities. Web based business has extended rapidly, cutting crosswise over national limits. Indeed, even conventional inheritance data and database frameworks have moved to the Web. Advances in remote innovations and Webempowered machines are setting off another rush of versatile Web applications. Accordingly, we progressively rely upon a scope of Web applications. Since a significant number of us depend on Web based frameworks and applications, they should be solid and perform well. To manufacture these frameworks and applications, Web designers need a sound system, a trained and repeatable procedure, better improvement instruments, and a lot of good rules. The rising field of Web building satisfies these necessities. It utilizes logical, designing, and the board standards and methodical ways to deal with effectively create, send, and keep up excellent Web frameworks and applications. It intends to acquire the present turmoil Web based framework advancement leveled out, limit dangers, and upgrade Web webpage viability and quality.

The expanding role of the Web as a content and applications deployment platform and the appearance of new computing paradigms, such as thin-client computing, require now more than ever the introduction of concrete development frameworks. Although new approaches, technologies, tools, commercial applications appear daily, limited guidelines or frameworks exist that can assist Web developers in selecting the proper methodology and tools for the design, implementation and maintenance of flexible Web content and applications. Our work, triggered from our experience in implementing the Web presence of several large Greek Governmental organisations, attempts to address the major current and forthcoming problems that Web developers face. We propose a framework (RDF/XML based) that will act as a malleable development support environment, incorporating specific guidelines, which Web developers should always consider. The primary goals are achieving scalability (modular, component-based architecture), re-usability and technology independency in Web development. We focus on hypermedia content and applications.

The popularity of the World Wide Web has been increasing ever since its birth in the early 1990's. It rapidly became an important medium for content providers to publish documents for the masses. In the beginning, the content was delivered in the form of static pages but more interactive applications were soon to follow. The birth of e-commerce and other online services created a demand for better and more feature rich applications. However, web standards were not able to meet these requirements in a timely fashion which led to a situation where browser makers and web developers were forced to partially disregard to the standards to fulfill the market demand.

The development of large scale web systems requires a systematic and well-defined process to ensure quality and measurability - both in the process and in the product-, maintainability and reusability. Hypermedia/web engineering methods should provide mechanisms to deal with all the system features in a progressive, flexible and integrated way so that they can be put in practice without disturbing the project goals nor comprising its success. In this paper we describe how we did apply the ADM web engineering method in the ARCE project, why we decided to go for a web engineering approach and the main benefits of this approach.

The series of workshops on Web Engineering started in 1998 with the World Wide Web Conference WWW7 in Brisbane, Australia, and has continued with WWW8 (Toronto, 1999) and WWW9 (Amsterdam, 2000). The first such workshop with the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) took place in 1999 in Los Angeles. The second workshop was held on 4-5 June 2000 in Limerick, Ireland and attracted about 30 participants.The main purpose behind these workshops is to share and pool the collective experience of people, both academics and practitioners, who are actively working on Web-based systems.This workshop consisted of two keynote addresses, 11 contributed papers and two sessions of open discussions. The call for papers elicited 18 submissions of which 11 were accepted after peer reviews. The papers presented at the workshop appear in the book Web Engineering (San Murugesan and Yogesh Deshpande (eds.), LNCS, Springer-Verlag, 2000).
