AIMS
Web has become a huge distributed information space, and provides abundant valuable resources for human being. However, due to the Web¨s autonomous, dynamic and heterogeneous characteristics, it is not easy to acquire Web information promptly and preciously. Many relevant researches and applications have been done on the topic. The development and widespread use of Web Service and XML technologies have improve the Web capability greatly. Meanwhile, the growing of Distributed Computing based Web, Web information mining, Web searching technology also make people use the Web information more conveniently. Recent years, with the rapid developing of Web, we are facing to new problems. First, the dynamic Web increases too quickly and becomes huger, so obtaining and maintaining the Web information become more and more difficult too. Secondly, with the emerging and progressing of the next generation web, Semantic Web, which focus on the semantic and intelligent issues of the Web, we should change our fashion of looking the Web. Finally, various Web applications need the knowledge from the other fields to improve themselves, such as Web Testing uses many ideas in the traditional software engineering. These new issues of Web are influencing the using Web information.

 

This workshop on Web Information Systems and Applications aims to bring the researchers and academics with practitioners who have been working on the underpinnings theory, techniques and applications, concerning analysis and/or manipulation of Web Information Systems and Applications, and provide an active forum for discussing the current challenges and future directions.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS 
Papers must be original and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors must clearly explain the contribution of the work in terms of its theoretical and/or practical value and relationship to previous work. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 15 pages, including tables and figures, with PDF, PostScript, or MS Word format. All accepted papers will be printed in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for the LNCS author instructions). Thus, adhering to that style already in the submission is strongly encouraged. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work and to their ability to generate discussions between the participants of the workshop. 

 

All submissions should be made electronically and sent to Professor Baowen Xu (wisa@seu.edu.cn).
