Journal of Web Engineering

The World Wide Web and its associated technologies have become a major implementation and delivery platform for a large variety of applications, ranging from simple institutional information Web sites to sophisticated supply-chain management systems, financial applications, e-government, distance learning, and entertainment, among others. Such applications, in addition to their intrinsic functionality, also exhibit the more complex behavior of distributed applications.Recently, there have been some advances towards re-framing the development - both design and implementation - of Web applications as a disciplined and systematic endeavor. However, the vast majority of existing applications have been developed in an ad-hoc way, leading to problems of maintainability, quality and reliability. Web applications are software artifacts, and as such can benefit by making use of established practices stemming from several related disciplines such as Software Engineering, Hypermedia, Information Systems, Human-Computer Interaction and Organizational Science, enabling creation, management and reuse of structures of the information space as well as enhancing the end-user experience. In addition, it has its own characteristics which must be addressed, such as a varied user population, very short development turnaround times, diverse runtime environments, accessibility through multiple devices, etc.Web Engineering is the scientific discipline that studies the theory and practice of constructing Web-based systems and applications. This includes theoretical principles and systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approaches towards the cost-effective development and evolution of high-quality, ubiquitously usable Web-based systems and applications. It fundamentally concerns the technology which enables the construction of Web applications. Web Engineering, while rooted in Computer Science and Engineering, draws from a diverse range of other disciplines, such as information science, information systems, management and business, among others. Web Engineering encompasses, but is not restricted to:* Web application development methods and processes* Web application development tools and environments* Modeling and model-based design and development* Component-based Web application development* Navigation and hypermedia* Content retrieval and search* Human-computer interaction and user modeling* Web application usability* Adaptive Web applications and personalization* Web application deployment* Web application quality, metrics and measurement* Web application evaluation, verification and validation* Testing automation, methods and tools for Web applications* Performance modeling, monitoring and evaluation* Federated and cross-organizational Web applications* Service-oriented Web application approaches * Implementation Architectures* Use and integration of meta-data in Web applications* Application of Semantic Web technology in Web applications* Web design patterns and pattern mining* Web Engineering educationThe Journal of Web Engineering (JWE) aims to provide a forum for advancing the scientific state of knowledge in all areas of Web Engineering. Original articles, survey articles, reviews, tutorials, perspectives, and general correspondence are all welcome. Appropriate submissions should address significant issues and problems, and potential solutions, and will be reviewed in accordance with peer review conventions.Besides the regular paper submission and reviewing process, JWE also publishes special issues. These special issues are typically theme-based. This means that they have a coherent focus on a given theme and the set of papers contained in the issue together deepen the understanding of the Web Engineering discipline or explore the bounds of the discipline. As such, the special issue is different from a regular issue that contains a number of papers within the journal's scope, by its focus on one theme relevant for the discipline. Proposals for special issues are welcome and need to specify and motivate the theme and the composition of the set of papers to be included. The papers in a special issue will go through a regular process of reviewing.

万维网及其相关技术已成为各种应用程序的主要实施和交付平台，从简单的机构信息网站到复杂的供应链管理系统、金融应用程序、电子政务、远程学习和娱乐等。这些应用程序除了其固有的功能外，还表现出分布式应用程序更复杂的行为。最近，在将Web应用程序的开发（包括设计和实现）重新构建为一项有纪律和系统的工作方面，已经取得了一些进展。然而，现有的绝大多数应用程序都是以一种特殊的方式开发的，这导致了可维护性、质量和可靠性的问题。Web应用程序软件构件，因此可以通过利用效益建立实践源于几个软件工程等相关专业，超媒体，信息系统，人机交互和组织科学，使创建、管理和重用信息空间的结构以及提高终端用户体验。此外，它也有其自身的特点，必须加以解决，例如用户数量不同、开发周期非常短、运行时环境多样、通过多个设备的可访问性等。网络工程是研究构建基于网络的系统和应用的理论和实践的科学学科。这包括理论原则和系统、规范和可量化的方法，以实现高质量、普遍可用的基于Web的系统和应用程序的经济有效的开发和发展。它从根本上涉及到能够构建Web应用程序的技术。网络工程，虽然植根于计算机科学和工程，从不同的其他学科，如信息科学，信息系统，管理和商业等。网络工程包括但不限于：*Web应用程序开发方法和过程*Web应用程序开发工具和环境*建模与基于模型的设计与开发*基于组件的Web应用程序开发*导航和超媒体*内容检索和搜索*人机交互与用户建模*Web应用程序可用性*自适应Web应用程序和个性化*Web应用程序部署*Web应用程序质量、度量和度量*Web应用程序评估、验证和验证*Web应用程序的测试自动化、方法和工具*绩效建模、监控和评估*联合和跨组织Web应用程序*面向服务的Web应用程序方法*实施架构*在Web应用程序中使用和集成元数据*语义Web技术在Web应用中的应用*Web设计模式和模式挖掘*网络工程教育《网络工程杂志》（JWE）旨在为促进网络工程各个领域的科学知识状态提供一个论坛。欢迎使用原创文章、调查文章、评论、教程、观点和一般通信。适当的提交应解决重大问题和问题，以及潜在的解决方案，并将根据同行评审惯例进行评审。除了定期的论文提交和审查过程外，JWE还出版了一些特别的问题。这些特殊问题通常是基于主题的。这意味着他们对一个给定的主题有一个连贯的关注点，并且该问题中包含的一组论文一起加深了对网络工程学科的理解或探索了学科的界限。因此，这本专刊不同于普通期刊，它在期刊的范围内包含了许多论文，其重点是与该学科相关的一个主题。欢迎提出特别问题的建议，并需要具体说明和激励要包括的主题和论文集的组成。专刊中的论文将定期进行审查。
