The Fourth International Conference on Web Engineering will be
organised and hosted by the Institute for Informatics of the
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. The ICWE'04 Conference
continues the tradition of ICWE'03 in Oviedo, Spain, ICWE'02 in
Santa Fé, Argentina and ICWE'01 in Cáceres, Spain.

The ICWE'04 conference aims at bringing together the international
community of experts in Web Engineering research, practice and
education, to share their experiences and to foster discussion on
the present status of and future trends in this rapidly growing
field.

The conference focuses on the methodologies, techniques and tools
that are the foundation of Web Engineering and support the
development, use, and evaluation of complex Web applications.

The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to, the
following areas:

*  Business Processes for Applications on the Web
*  CASE Tools for Web Applications
*  Code Generation for Web Applications
*  Collaborative Web Development
*  Conceptual Modelling of Web Applications
*  Data Models for Web Information Systems
*  Development Process and Process Improvement of Web Applications
*  Empirical Web Engineering
*  Integrated Web Application Development Environments
*  Multimedia Authoring Tools and Software
*  Performance of Web-based Applications
*  Personalisation and Adaptation of Web Applications
*  Process Modelling  of Web Applications
*  Prototyping Methods and Tools
*  Quality Control and Testing
*  Requirements Engineering for Web Applications
*  Semantic Web Applications
*  Software Factories for/on the Web
*  Testing Automation, Methods and Tools for Web Applications
*  Ubiquitous and Mobile Web Applications
*  UML and the Web
*  Usability of Web Applications
*  Web Accessibility
*  Web Design Methods
*  Web Engineering Education
*  Web Interface Design
*  Web Metrics, Cost Estimation, and Measurement
*  Web Project Management and Risk Management
*  Web Services Development and Deployment

ICWE'04 invites original submissions in the mentioned and other
related areas. Contributions may fall in any of the following
categories: papers, demonstrations, workshops and tutorials. The
submissions may cover new approaches in Web Engineering, novel
viewpoints and challenges on any aspect of Web Engineering,
reports on the implementation or deployment of advanced Web
projects in an industrial or application scenario, or descriptions
of Web Engineering education experiences.
