This volume contains papers presented at the 6th International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems, held in Tarascon, Provence, France, from 5-9 September 1994. As in previous years, the workshop addressed the issue of how to support the implementation of very long-lived systems. Among the specific topics discussed were: how to build, maintain and operate large persistent applications; how to measure and analyze existing systems in order to improve the quality of persistent software engineering; and how to present and provide a full range of object store functions, such as concurrency, transactions and recovery.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2008, held in Auckland, New Zealand, in September 2008. The 17 revised full papers and 14 revised short papers presented together with two keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from around 110 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on grid computing and peer-to-peer systems; Web mining; rich Web user interfaces; semantic Web; Web information retrieval; Web data integration; queries and peer-to-peer systems; and Web services.
