International Workshop on Web Based And Distributed Information Systems

Scope

Web based information systems present many challenges including problems of modeling, representing and using semantics of diverse information sources, distributed information management, distributed and parallel query processing, emerging social and community based application, and information and knowledge mining. Applications of web based information systems range over many domains, particularly spatial information and mobile applications. The aim of WEBDIS workshop is to provide a forum to bring together reseachers and practitioners interested in sharing ideas and results in these challenging research domains.

Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
