GENERAL INFORMATION
The ICIW 2006 (International Conference on Internet and Web Services) 
inaugurates a series of co-located events that covers the complementary 
aspects related to designing and deploying of applications based on IP&Web
 techniques and mechanisms. The main conference focuses on several tracks 
concerning Web technologies, design and development of Web-based
applications, and interactions of these applications with other types of 
systems. Management aspects related to these applications and challenges 
on specialized domains are aided at too. Evaluation techniques and 
standard position on different aspects are part of the expected agenda.

The call for submissions covers both theoretical and experimental topics. 
Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not 
under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not 
limited topic areas. Industrial presentations are not subject to these 
constraints. Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on
challenging areas are encouraged.
