        EuroWeb 2002: 2nd European World Wide Web Conference
            
        The Web and the GRID: from e-science to e-business

                         17-18 December 2002
                   St Anne's College, Oxford, UK

                  http://www.w3c.rl.ac.uk/Euroweb/


    Conference Chair: Prof. Michael Wilson, W3C UK and Ireland Office
    Programme Chair: Dr. Brian Matthews, CLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory


The conference theme is intended to prompt debate on convergence of
developments pioneered for e-science on the GRID and web services
in order to provide business applications. The communities who identify with
the web, the GRID, Web Services, Grid Services and Semantic Web should
not be isolated from each other, but need to come together to unify
their approaches to meet the real needs of information, data and
knowledge technology users.

EuroWeb 2002 will be a major international forum at which research on
GRIDs and Web Services is presented. EuroWeb 2002 follows on from the
success of the EuroWeb 2001, which was held in Pisa in December, 2001
on the topic of the web in public administration.
