The goal of this one-day workshop is to bring together members of the software maintenance, reengineering, and information technology communities to discuss techniques for Web-enabling legacy systems. One way of extending the lifespan of existing applications is to make them available over the Web. While there are numerous tools available to aid in this process, significant challenges remain. In addition, once migrated to the Web, legacy systems are often augmented with new capabilities, such as electronic commerce and streaming media. Such additions add to the complexity of the Web-enabled system, making its subsequent evolution even more difficult. WSE'2000 provides a opportunity for the exchange on information related to exciting new research and empirical results in areas including (but not limited to): • Extracting and reusing components from legacy systems • Using distributed component technology in migrating legacy systems • Managing an evolving n-tier information system • Case studies of large-scale evolution • Business issues in migrating to the Web I am very pleased that the second meeting of this nascent research community is part of the 2 nd Reengineering Forum Europe (EuroREF), which is meeting jointly with the 4 th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering (CSMR'2000). As part of Reengineering Week 2000 Zürich, I hope WSE can follow the example set by the first WSE workshop in Atlanta to provide a stimulating and enjoyable workshop.
