Preface

Over the last few years Web Engineering has begun to gain mainstream acceptance within the software engineering, IT and related disciplines. In particular, both researchers and practitioners are increasingly recognizing the unique characteristics of Web systems, and what these characteristics imply in terms of the approaches we take to Web systems development and deployment in practice. A scan of the publications in related conference proceedings and journals highlights the diversity of the discipline areas which contribute to both the richness and the complexity of Web Engineering. The 5th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2005), held in Sydney, Australia
