Since its inception in 1999, the Web Systems Evolution (WSE) series of events has provided a forum to present original work and to promote discussion and interaction among researchers and practitioners on subjects related to the disciplined evolution of large-scale Web-based systems. WSE 2010 aims to attract participants from different research communities, ranging from the software maintenance & evolution community to the Web engineering and service oriented computing community. WSE 2010 will provide researchers and practitioners with an exciting environment to discuss exciting results and exchange ideas.
WSE 2010 will be held in Timisoara, Romania on September 17 and 18, 2010, co-located with the 26th IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM 2010). The technical program of WSE 2010 will include invited talks, paper presentations, panel discussions, working sessions, and a doctoral symposium.
