What is Web Software Application (Christodoulou et al., 2000)

Chapter 1
Handbook of Research on Web Information Systems Quality
A conventional software application that relies on the Web or uses the Web’s infrastructure for execution. Typical applications include legacy information systems such as databases, booking systems, knowledge bases, and so forth. Many e-commerce applications fall into this category. Typically, they employ development technologies (e.g., DCOM, ActiveX, etc.), database systems, and development solutions (e.g., J2EE).

Abstract
Surveying and classifying previous work on a particular field brings several benefits, which are: 1) to help organise a given body of knowledge; 2) to provide results that can help identify gaps that need to be filled; 3) to provide a categorisation that can also be applied or adapted to other surveys; and 4) to provide a classification and summary of results that may benefit practitioners and researchers who wish to carry out meta-analyses. This chapter presents a survey literature of size measures (attributes) that have been proposed for Web effort estimation. These measures are classified according to a proposed taxonomy. We also discuss ways in which Web companies can devise their own size measures.
