**********************************************************
Barely more than ten years after the birth of the World Wide Web, the
Global
Information Infrastructure is daily reality. In spite of the many
applications
in all domains of our societies: e-business, e-commerce,
e-learning, e-science,
and e-government, for instance, and in spite of the
tremendous advances by
engineers and scientists, the seamless integration of
information and services
remains a major challenge. The current shared
vision for the future is one of
semantically-rich information and service
oriented architecture for global
information systems. This vision is at the
convergence of progress in technologies
such as XML, Web services, RDF, OWL,
of multimedia, multimodal, and multilingual
information retrieval, and of
distributed, mobile and ubiquitous computing.
The goal of iiWAS'2008 is to provide an international forum for
scientists,
engineers, and managers in academia, industry, and government to
address
recent research results and to present and discuss their ideas,
theories,
technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and
experiences
on all theoretical and practical issues arising in information
and service
integration.
