For 60 years the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) has been advancing research in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This book looks into both past experiences and future perspectives using the core of IFIP's competence, its Technical Committees (TCs) and Working Groups (WGs).Soon after IFIP was founded, it established TCs and related WGs to foster the exchange and development of the scientific and technical aspects of information processing. IFIP TCs are as diverse as the different aspects of information processing, but they share the following aims:To establish and maintain liaison with national and international organizations with allied interests and to foster cooperative action, collaborative research, and information exchange.To identify subjects and priorities for research, to stimulate theoretical work on fundamental issues, and to foster fundamental research which will underpin future development.To provide a forum for professionals with a view to promoting the study, collection, exchange, and dissemination of ideas, information, and research findings and thereby to promote the state of the art.To seek and use the most effective ways of disseminating information about IFIP’s work including the organization of conferences, workshops and symposia and the timely production of relevant publications.To have special regard for the needs of developing countries and to seek practicable ways of working with them.To encourage communication and to promote interaction between users, practitioners, and researchers.To foster interdisciplinary work and – in particular – to collaborate with other Technical Committees and Working Groups.The 17 contributions in this book describe the scientific, technical, and further work in TCs and WGs and in many cases also assess the future consequences of the work’s results. These contributions explore the developments of IFIP and the ICT profession now and over the next 60 years. The contributions are arranged per TC and conclude with the chapter on the IFIP code of ethics and conduct.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2005, held in New York, NY, USA, in November 2005.The 30 revised full papers and 20 revised short papers presented together with 18 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 259 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Web mining, Web information retrieval, metadata management, ontology and semantic Web, XML, Web service method, Web service structure, collaborative methodology, P2P, ubiquitous and mobile, document retrieval applications, Web services and e-commerce, recommendation and Web information extraction, P2P, grid and distributed management, and advanced issues. The presentation is rounded off by 14 industrial papers and the abstracts of 4 tutorial sessions.

The International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries 2005 (ICADL 2005), held in Bangkok, Thailand, 12-15 December 2005, was the 8th in a series of annual internationalconferences organizedby digital libraryresearchersin Asia. ICADL was set up to facilitate and stimulate the exchange of digital library research, information, and technology in the Asian region while also functi- ing as a sister conference to its North American and European counterparts, i.e., JCDL and ECDL. The theme of ICADL 2005 was "Digital Libraries: - plementing Strategies and Sharing Experiences," covering strategies, implem- tation experiences, systems, techniques, management, and applications. ICADL 2005 provided a forum for sharing experiences and exchanging research results, innovative ideas, and state-of-the-art developments among researchers, edu- tors, practitioners, and policy makers from a variety of disciplines such as c- puter science,libraryand informationscience,archivalandmuseum studies,and knowledge management. ICADL 2005 also marked the special occasion of the 50th birthday anniv- sary of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, Patron of the Thai Library Association.ICADL 2005 received 164 paper submissions from 17 countries, including a good number from outside the Asian region. From these, 40 full papers, 15 short papers, and 15 poster papers were accepted and are included in these proceedings.Eachpaper wasreviewedby the ProgramCommittee membersand additional co-reviewers. The technical program comprised one day of tutorials, followed by keynote and invited speeches, paper and poster sessions as well as a post-conference workshop on metadata and Dublin Core.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Advances in Information Systems (ADVIS) held in Izmir, Turkey, October, 18-20, 2006. This is the fourth conference dedicated to the memory of Professor Esen Ozkarahan, who was one of the pioneers of database machine research and a founder of database systems in Turkey. The main goal of the conference is to bring together researchers from all around the world working in di?erent areas of information systems to share new ideas and represent their latest results. This time we received 120 submissions from 27 countries.The Program Committee selected 38 papers for presentation at the conference. The invited and accepted contributions covered the main research topics - lated to information systems such as information representation and exchange, databases and datawarehouses, Semantic Web and ontologies, data mining and knowledge discovery, information retrieval and knowledge engineering, archit- ture of information systems, and distributed and wireless information systems. All these topics were discussed in detail during the conference. The success of the conference was dependent on the hard work of a large numberofpeople.WegratefullyacknowledgethemembersoftheProgramC- mittee, who helped to coordinate the process of refereeing all submitted papers. We also thank all the other specialists and our additional referees, who reviewed the papers.
