        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
    Poster Chair: Prof. Bob Hopgood, Oxford Brookes University


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.

The conference is supported by the International World-Wide Web Conference 
Committee (IW3C2) and the European Research Consortium for Informatics 
and Mathematics (ERCIM).

Call for Posters
----------------

The Poster session at Euroweb 2002 is an opportunity to discuss 
late-breaking results, ongoing research projects, and innovative 
work-in-progress which may not yet be ready for a full paper. 
Technical posters, reports on software systems, completed work, 
or work in progress are all welcome. Submissions will be evaluated 
for acceptability by the Poster Committee. 

Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the theme 
of the conference, originality, significance, and clarity. Accepted 
posters will be displayed at the conference.  Final posters should fit
