The International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE) aims to promote scientific and practical excellence in Web Engineering and to bring together researchers and practitioners working on all aspects regarding the engineering of Web-based software systems. The conference aims to advance the state-of-the-art of technologies, methodologies, programming languages, algorithms, models, protocols, tools, and metrics and specifically looks for excellent research contributions, cutting-edge engineering practices, and empirical insights.

ICWE 2013 will be held on July 8-12, 2013, in Aalborg, Denmark. It’s going to be the 13th edition of the conference, after 12 successful editions in a row.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Research papers must clearly describe their scientific contribution to the field of Web Engineering. Submissions must contain original material and must not have been published or submitted in parallel elsewhere. Manuscripts not complying with these rules will be rejected straightaway. 

Papers must be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) and not exceed 15 pages of length. Papers must be submitted using the ICWE 2013 submission site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icwe2013) within the official deadlines. Other channels of submission or late submissions will not be accepted.

SELECTION AND PUBLICATION

All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer review process. Only papers with significant contribution and of high quality will be accepted. Accepted papers will be included in the ICWE 2013 conference proceedings to be published by Springer Verlag in its LNCS series. Authors of accepted papers must sign a copyright release form, if they want their paper to be published in the proceedings. Each paper requires at least one author to register for the main conference.

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

Authors of selected best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution to a special issue in a major international journal (agreement is pending).
