DB-Japan の皆様 京都大学の横田です．12月にローマで行われる WISE 2003 の CFP をお送りし ます． -- 横田 裕介 / YOKOTA Yusuke yyokota@i.kyoto-u.ac.jp --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 4th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering (WISE) Roma, Italy, 10-13th December 2003 Conference Website: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~wise03 SCOPE: ----- The growth of the Web has dramatically changed the way information is accessed and managed, thereby opening the door to exciting new scenarios for the widespread consumption and exchange of information. Along with the excitement, there is also the recognition of an urgent need for effective and efficient tools for information consumers, who must be able to easily locate, manage and exchange disparate information, ranging from unstructured documents and pictures to structured, but often hidden, record-oriented data. The aim of this conference is to provide an international forum for researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners to share their knowledge in the rapidly growing area of Web technologies and methodologies. We invite submissions that address both fundamental issues of Web data management and issues related to the development and management of Web- based applications. LIST OF TOPICS: -------------- Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - Deep/Hidden Web - Web Monitoring & Management - Web Mining - Web Services - Innovative Web-based Applications - Web Commerce - Web Ontologies - Web Tools & Languages - Mobile Web Information Systems - Web Data Models - Web Performance - Web Transactions - Semantic Web - Web Information Retrieval - Web Query Languages - Web Visualization - Web Agents - Web Intelligence - Web-based Enterprise Systems - Web Warehousing - Web Security - Web Metrics - XML & Semi-structured Data - Web-based Business Processes CONFERENCE OFFICERS: ------------------- GENERAL CHAIRS Stefano Spaccapietra, EPFL, Switzerland Stefano Ceri, Politecnico di Milano, Italy PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Tiziana Catarci, Universit/di Roma "La Sapienza", Italy Maria E.
