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.
