“…Indeed, the WWW itself is an excellent example of what happens when technology becomes accessible to "the rest of us". In the words of Deshpande and Hansen [6], it is time for the web engineering community to "devise methods and processes to assist end users" which would help to increase the reliability of applications and "release the creative power of people. "…”

Abstract. We are investigating the feasibility of end-user web engineering. The main target audience for this research is webmasters without programming experience -a group likely to be interested in building web applications. Our target domain is web-based data collection and management applications. As an instrument for studying the mental models of our audience and collecting requirements for an end-user web programming tool, we are developing Click, a proof-of-concept prototype. We discuss end-user related aspects of web engineering in general and describe the design rationale for Click. In particular, we elaborate on the need for supporting evolutionary prototyping and opportunistic and ad hoc development goals. We also discuss strategies for making end-user web engineering scalable and for encouraging end-user developers to continually increase their level of sophistication.

Security is an elusive target in today's high-speed and extremely complex, Web enabled, information rich business environment. This paper presents the idea that there are essential, basic organizational elements that need to be identified, defined and addressed before examining security aspects of a Web Engineering Development process. These elements are derived from empirical evidence based on a Web survey and supporting literature. This paper makes two contributions. The first contribution is the identification of the Web Engineering specific elements that need to be acknowledged and resolved prior to the assessment of a Web Engineering process from a security perspective. The second contribution is that these elements can be used to help guide Security Improvement Initiatives in Web Engineering.

“…Keeping this practice in mind, it is no surprise that a survey done by the Cutter Consortium [7] found out that the top problem areas of large-scale Web application projects were the failure to meet business needs (84%), project schedule delays (79%), budget overrun (63%), lack of required functionality (53%), and poor quality of deliverables (52%). The current situation of ad hoc 1 development of Web applications reminds us of the software development practices of the 1960s, before it was realized that the development of applications required more than programming expertise [8,9,28]. Now, the problems seem to be the same, so are the solutions the same, too?…”

Abstract. 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.
