This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 11th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies, WEBIST 2015, held in Lisbon, Portugal, May 20-22, 2015, organized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), and technically sponsored by the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS). The purpose of the WEBIST series of conferences is to bring together researches, engineers and practitioners interested in technological advances and business applications of web-based information systems. The 17 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected originally 115 paper submissions. They were organized in topical sections names: web interfaces and applications; internet technology; society, e-business and e-government; web intelligence; and mobile information systems.

Web Information Systems and Technologies

​Software is continuously increasing in complexity. Paradigmatic shifts and new development frameworks make it easier to implement software – but not to test it. Software testing remains to be a topic with many open questions with regard to both technical low-level aspects and to the organizational embedding of testing. However, a desired level of software quality cannot be achieved by either choosing a technical procedure or by optimizing testing processes. In fact, it requires a holistic approach.This Brief summarizes the current knowledge of software testing and introduces three current research approaches. The base of knowledge is presented comprehensively in scope but concise in length; thereby the volume can be used as a reference. Research is highlighted from different points of view. Firstly, progress on developing a tool for automated test case generation (TCG) based on a program’s structure is introduced. Secondly, results from a project with industry partners on testing best practices are highlighted. Thirdly, embedding testing into e-assessment of programming exercises is described.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 13th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies, WEBIST 2017, held in Porto, Portugal, in April 2017. The purpose of the WEBIST series of conferences is to bring together researches, engineers and practitioners interested in technological advances and business applications of web-based information systems. The 12 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from originally 77 paper submissions. They contribute to the understanding of relevant trends of current research on Web information systems and technologies, comprising unified interfaces, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) as well as a mobile device taxonomy, XML and open data processing, the history of Web engineering, web development for end-users, access control, Web platform assessment, rule engines, and scientific blogging.

This book deals with integrated Web, mobile, and IoT technologies. Novel approaches and techniques, new tools and frameworks are needed to address the increasing complexity of the distributed computing paradigms that are coming and the applications therein. This volume contains selected and extended papers from a) the Web Technologies track at the 33rd ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing, b) the Web Technologies track at the 32nd ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing, and c) the Software Development for Mobile Devices, Wearables, and the Internet-of-Things Minitrack at the 51st Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. Overall, it provides a uniform view of cutting-edge research in Web, mobile and IoT technologies.

Selected and Revised Papers from the Web Technologies Track at SAC 2017 and SAC 2018, and the Software Development for Mobile Devices, Wearables, and the IoT Minitrack at HICSS 2018
