Journal of Web Engineering & Technology

Journal of Web Engineering & Technology [2455-1880(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2014 providing a forum and an authoritative source of information in the web engineering and web technology field. It is devoted to the analysis, design, development, use, evaluation & teaching of web-based systems, applications, sites, and technologies-based research.

• Web application architecture: client–server and multi-tier architectures, single-page and server-rendered application design, microservice and modular decomposition for web systems, event-driven and streaming architectures, state management strategies, and architectural evaluation and trade-off analysis.
• Front-end engineering: component-based interface development, rendering models and hydration strategies, client-side routing and data fetching, progressive web applications and offline capability, WebAssembly in browser applications, and cross-browser compatibility and polyfill strategies.
• Web services and application programming interfaces: REST, GraphQL, and RPC-style interface design, service composition and orchestration, service discovery and dynamic selection, API versioning and evolution, contract specification and documentation, and interoperability across heterogeneous services.
• Web modelling and model-driven development: navigational and content modelling, object-oriented hypermedia design methods, model-driven generation of web interfaces, modelling notations and their tool support, and traceability between models and implementations.
• Web development process and methodology: requirements engineering for web systems, agile and iterative web development practice, web project lifecycle and estimation, design patterns for web applications, maintainability and technical debt in web codebases, and empirical studies of web development practice.
• Web testing, verification, and validation: user-session-based and model-based testing, test case generation and prioritisation, end-to-end and visual regression testing, mutation analysis for web code, automated accessibility and compliance testing, and fault detection effectiveness studies.
• Web performance engineering: page load and rendering performance, user-centric performance metrics, caching, compression, and content delivery strategies, HTTP protocol evolution and its performance implications, resource prioritisation, and performance budgets and monitoring.
• Web security: authentication and session management, injection, cross-site scripting, and request forgery defences, content security policy and browser security mechanisms, API and token security, dependency and supply chain risk in web stacks, and vulnerability testing of web applications.
• Usability, accessibility, and user experience: web usability evaluation methods, accessibility standards conformance and assistive technology support, inclusive and universal design, internationalisation and localisation, user study methodology for web interfaces, and design systems and interface consistency.
• Semantic web and linked data: ontology design and vocabulary development, RDF, OWL, and SPARQL technologies, knowledge graph publication and consumption, semantic annotation of web content, structured data for search and discovery, and reasoning over distributed web data.
• Web mining and analytics: clickstream and behavioural analysis, web usage and navigation pattern mining, content and structure mining, web crawling and indexing strategies, recommendation on the web, and privacy-preserving analytics.
• Content management, personalisation, and adaptive systems: content management system architecture, headless and decoupled publishing, adaptive hypermedia and user modelling, personalisation engines and their evaluation, and authoring tools for web content.
• Mobile and cross-platform web: responsive and adaptive design, mobile web performance constraints, hybrid and cross-platform application frameworks, web on constrained and embedded devices, and comparison of web and native delivery.
• Web infrastructure, deployment, and operations: hosting and serverless deployment models, containerised web workloads, continuous delivery for web systems, service level agreements and their monitoring, observability and error tracking for production web applications, and scalability and load management.
