GENERAL INFORMATION

The ICIW 2006 (International Conference on Internet and Web Applications
and 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 Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which
