Call for Papers
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
Web-based systems are becoming increasingly popular as tools for
user-driven access to information and services.
During the last years, Web-based systems are increasingly used to access
Multimedia Systems, Information Systems,
Legacy Applications and, more recently, High-Performance Computational
Environments (Problem Solving Environments).
In Web-based Multimedia Systems and Information Systems, the linking
mechanism of hypermedia offers users
a large amount of navigational freedom so that it becomes necessary to
guide users during navigation.
Moreover, the classes of users to be dealt with are becoming
increasingly heterogeneous
(novices, experts, specialists, technicians, and so on) due to the
worldwide deployment of applications.
Other important sources of heterogeneity are: the kind of user terminal,
the available network bandwidth,
the desired "resolution" to observe contents, etc. Therefore, such
systems should be able to adapt themselves
to different user requirements (and wishes) and should manage, in an
integrated way, the sources of heterogeneity,
not only at the application level, but along all the layers of a modern
Web-based system.
In the last years, Web Based Systems are also emerging as high-level
interfaces to large-scale distributed computing
platforms, called Computational Grids, that provide dependable,
consistent, and pervasive access to
high-end computational resources. Such systems, known as Grid Portals,
are defined to be Web-based
application servers enhanced with the necessary software to communicate
to grid services and resources.
Grid Portals provide application scientists a customized view of
software and hardware resources from a Web browser.
In Grid Portals, the main issues are the integration between web and
grid technologies, allowing the transparent
access to Problem Solving Environments through web interfaces. Moreover,
specialized Grid Portals,
allowing the installation, the management and the monitoring of grid
environments will represent an
interesting application area.
A main issue that will drive the development and evolution of the Grid
raises from the enormous amount of data and
information available coupled with the intelligent use of Grid resources
and applications.
Future generation Grids will include knowledge discovery and knowledge
management functionalities,
for user's needs and system management, and will employ semantic
modeling of user's tasks, available services,
and data sources to support high level services and dynamic services
finding and composition.
The main goal of the Track is is to discuss some of the current and
future technologies that will impact on architectures,
computational models and applications of Modern Web and Grid Systems,
with a particular emphasis on the use of semantics and knowledge
discovery techniques and services
addressing main design and management aspects.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
Papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical or
experimental nature.
Moreover, papers concerning tools and architectures for industrial
applications will also be considered.
Interested authors should submit their 5-8 pages PDF/PostScript paper
(IEEE Proceedings format, http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm),
by using the START submission system
(http://www.softconf.com/start/ITCC2004/submit.html)
before October 17, 2003.
Instructions about submission can be found at
http://www.ee.unlv.edu/~it/Files/start/how-to-submit.html.
If electronic submission is not possible for some reasons, please send
the paper to the Track Chair via email.
Authors that have submitted their paper using email should not resubmit
it.
Note: The Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
A special issue of an international journal is being planned consisting
of selected papers from this conference.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version
for the journal.
