<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Fourth International Conference on Web Engineering will be<BR>organised
and hosted by the Institute for Informatics of
the<BR>Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. The ICWE'04
Conference<BR>continues the tradition of ICWE'03 in Oviedo, Spain, ICWE'02
in<BR>Santa Fé, Argentina and ICWE'01 in Cáceres, Spain.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ICWE'04 conference aims at bringing together the
international<BR>community of experts in Web Engineering research, practice
and<BR>education, to share their experiences and to foster discussion on<BR>the
present status of and future trends in this rapidly growing<BR>field.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The conference focuses on the methodologies, techniques and tools<BR>that
are the foundation of Web Engineering and support the<BR>development, use, and
evaluation of complex Web applications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to,
the<BR>following areas:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>* Business Processes for Applications on the Web<BR>* CASE

areas. Contributions may fall in any of the following<BR>categories: papers,
demonstrations, workshops and tutorials. The<BR>submissions may cover new
approaches in Web Engineering, novel<BR>viewpoints and challenges on any aspect
of Web Engineering,<BR>reports on the implementation or deployment of advanced
Web<BR>projects in an industrial or application scenario, or descriptions<BR>of
Web Engineering education experiences.</DIV>
