Conference**********************************************************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 inte!
 gration 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 addressrecent 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.TOPICS OF INTERESTConference program will include invited talks, peer reviewed
technicalprogram, demos, short papers, posters, tutorials, panels, workshops andinvited sessions !
