CroWE 2012 - 1st International Workshop on Crowdsourced Web Engineering

1st International Workshop on Crowdsourced Web Engineering
ACRONYM: CroWE 2012
URL: http://crowe.ethz.ch
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Crowdsourcing techniques have been proposed to address different aspects of web engineering ranging from the generation of content to the design and adaptation of web sites. At the same time, many Web 2.0 platforms have been designed around crowdsourcing models that enable the functionality to be extended through community-developed applications or plugins. Here, potential security issues have gained particular attention among researchers. Recently, a number of researchers have also begun to look at the use of crowdsourcing to support the evaluation of not only web sites and their interfaces but also various tools that form part of the design and development process. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who have applied crowdsourcing in a diversity of ways in order that they may learn from the experience of others and to stimulate discussion with a view to fostering new research ideas.
Papers may be related to any aspect of crowdsourced engineering. The following list gives an indication of possible topics:
crowdsourcing models and architectures
methods for crowdsourced web engineering
crowdsourced design
crowdsourcing for web site augmentation and adaptation
novel forms of crowdsourcing content
crowdsourcing linked data
crowdsourcing web search
use of crowdsourcing in evaluation
end-user development approaches for the web
applications of the crowdsourced paradigm in web engineering
quality aspects of crowdsourcing
security issues in crowdsourced systems
usability issues in crowdsourced systems
