Short abstract

Web site developers should make use of a range of standards and best practices to ensure their Web sites are functional, widely accessible and interoperable. However in practice many Web sites fail to achieve such goals. This short paper describes how a Web site quality assessment method (E-Qual) might be used in conjunction with a lightweight quality assurance framework (QA Focus) to provide a rounded view of Web site quality that takes account of user and supplier perspectives.

Authors Involvement In Work Described

Kelly was the QA Focus project leader and Vidgen was a co-developer of the E-Qual Web site quality instrument and the Multiview/WISDM Web system development methodology.

Short abstract

At recent international World Wide Web conferences we have seen innovative uses of collaborative networked applications to support the conference aims. Increasingly there is an expectation that networked environments will be provided as standard at international conferences, especially those covering IT research areas. This paper summarises potential benefit which networked applications can provided in a conference setting and also outlines potential dangers. The paper describes a framework for guidelines which can help to ensure that the benefits of networked applications can be maximised and problems kept to a minimum.
