On Web Engineering: Principles and Techniques? (ed. by Woojong Suh)

Abstract

As the discipline of Web Engineering (WE) evolves and becomes more established, it is quite encouraging to see new books published on the topic. It is especially exciting to see the term “Web Engineering” being accepted as a separate and unique description of the application of engineering paradigms to the design and implementation of Web-based services and applications. WE needs books for would-be and current practitioners, researchers and students to promote the activity and to contribute to its development. Woojong Suh’s new book, “Web Engineering – Principles and Techniques” (Idea Group Publishing 2005), is a valuable addition to a Web Engineering body of knowledge. The book’s goals, as stated in its Preface are “to enhance the professional insights and capabilities of researchers and technical professionals. (…) it places emphasis on serving both theoretical understanding and the latest research results in the major sub-areas of Web Engineering.” In order to accomplish this goal, the author has selected works by the leading researchers in the field.
