WET ICE Workshop Series

The 5th annual WET ICE workshop series is using a different approach
this year - and will be held in Stanford - there are seven parallel
workshops run by seven independant committees. This group may be
interested in a number of these workshops - including one on "Web
Infrastructures for Collaborative applications" and one on "Enterprise
Security."  URL pointers below.

Papers accepted for the workshops, and which were peer-reviewed by a 
minimum of three people, will be included in the post-proceedings to be 
published by IEEE Computer Society Press. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PAPERS
