Abstract

The evolutionary nature is one of the major differences between WIS (Web Information System) development and traditional software development. In this paper, we classify activities in WIS evolution into several layers and propose a model for perceiving and assessing the development process of WIS from an evolutionary perspective. To explain the model, a case about the evolution of a large-scale publicity web site will be introduced in the presentation.
