15 Years of web systems evolution

From its inception in 1999 to its fifteenth anniversary in 2013, the Web Systems Evolution (WSE) series of events have provided a forum for researchers and practitioners to present original work on subjects related to the disciplined evolution of large-scale Web sites and the development and deployment of Web applications. This paper summarizes the central themes of WSE over the years, with a brief summary of the last five years (2009–2013) of the symposium. The future of WSE is also discussed.
