Workshop on Web and Portals Quality (WEPOQ2008) [Cancelled]
The growing demand of software with quality has made the quality a discriminator factor among software
products, and therefore a key factor for software success.
Advances in technology and the use of Internet have favored the appearance of a great variety of web
software applications. As a result, over the past decade the number of organizations which make use
of web applications have grown dramatically. These web applications are used by different companies
with the aim of giving several services to their clients. And on the other hand, different kinds of
users use these web applications in order to make deals. In both settings, the quality is relevant.
In the first case, it is fundamental the quality of web applications in order to give a good service
and assure the loyalty of users. In the second case, the quality is also important in order to users
can achieve their objectives in a proper way.
A common use of these web applications is to integrate them into web portals. A web portal is a site
that aggregates information from multiple sources on the Web and organizes this material in an easy
user-friendly manner. Therefore, it is fundamental the quality of the individual applications which
are aggregated into the portal as well as the quality of the whole portal.
Bearing all this in mind, the goal of this workshop is to bring together members of the academic,
research, and industrial community interested in Web and portal quality. We encourage original
