Handheld devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PDAs are commonly used for online shopping. In order to satisfy web page requests on these devices, web developers are using a responsive web design approach, where websites dynamically adapt to different screen sizes and orientations. One of the challenges faced by web developers is to provide a usable experience across different devices. Motivated by this, a mobile-first usability guideline was established by extracting good usability practices from five popular responsive e-commerce websites. Validation of the usability guideline was conducted, and results indicate that it will have a positive impact on the overall user experience.

Security assessment is crucial to the implementation and use of secure web portals. Literature reports studies about knowledge representation models for systems assessment and information security areas; however, there is a lack of conceptual formalization for the security assessment area. The security assessment ontology (SecAOnto) objective is to formalize knowledge on security assessment. It is based on ontologies, taxonomies, vocabularies, glossaries, and market guidelines. This paper presents an application of SecAOnto with the objective of identifying concepts in descriptions of security assessment items; the coverage of security characteristics is determined by using a coverage calculus algorithm. The application of SecAOnto and of the coverage calculus algorithms to the well-known standard ISO/IEC 27001 highlights its expressiveness. The proposal is useful for security experts and researchers in the context of security assessment, as well as to support web-based conceptual architectures.

In the commercial world, SOA implementation practitioners are finding a gulf between tools, whether vendor-based or open source, and the practical first needs of customers. Future-facing tool developers are addressing problems of orchestration to achieve the SOA promise. Most corporations, however, have not yet established either the services to be abstracted, or the governance requirements around exposing those services, such as the right level of service granularity. This case study is based on recent experience in the utility and retail sectors. The drivers for each are compelling: a business-driven need for IT flexibility. Examples are provided to show that customers in both sectors need to develop their architecture and governance before attempting to choose the right tools. Confusion also exists between tools and off-the-shelf solutions in the SOA environment. The challenge of agile approach for SOA development is also examined.

A new research journal involves an element of risk. Will it meet a practical need? Will it play a unique role in an often-crowded area? Has it addressed an audience? And, most importantly, will researchers contribute their work to attract the audience and make it a success? The fields of web portals and Service Oriented Architecture generally today face two new challenges: First is the impact of the international economic situation on enterprise appetite for new technology investment. This comes alongside a second challenge, a debate on whether SOA will meet its promise or has been oversold by its advocates. Contributions in this and our previous two issues have already begun to address these questions. The paper by Andreas Prokoph from IBM Research Laboratory in Germany discusses the issues associated with modern web applications and servers such as Portal that require adequate support for integration of search services. The primary reasons being user focused information delivery and user interaction, as well as new technologies used to render such information for the user. An example being the two fundamental problems that web crawlers in the past already had to deal with: dynamic content and Javascript generated content. Even today the solution is simple: ignore such web pages. In order to enable ‘search’ in Portals, a different ‘crawling’ paradigm is required to allow for search engines to gather and consume information. WebSphere Portal provides a framework which propagates content and information through so-called Seedlistscomparable to HTML based sitemaps, but richer in terms of features. Of course it mandates that information or content delivering applications need to be ‘search engine aware’—it requires them to enable services and seedlists for fast, efficient and complete delivery of content and information. This would be the main integration point for search engines into the portal for Portal site search services with rich and user focused search experience.
