******************************************************************************** 


The purpose of QWE is to assess the effectiveness of existing approaches 
for evaluating and managing the quality of Web resources (review 
guidelines, quality models, quality evaluation methods, information 
quality tools, logging tools, automatic metric capture tools, etc.), 
with the final objective of allowing researchers and practitioners to 
discuss and get to know the most innovative and advanced experiences for 
guaranteeing the quality of Web applications. Special emphasis will be 
posed on Web Engineering methods, the way they improve the development 
process and the quality of final applications, the way they can be 
further empowered by taking into account quality principles and by 
integrating sound quality assessment methods. One of the main goals of 
this year’s edition will be to discuss the impact of these issues in 
modern Web applications, commonly referred to as Web 2.0 applications.
