Více o knize

This book features a selection of outstanding papers from the Fourth International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies (WEBIST 2008), held in Funchal, Madeira. Organized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and co-sponsored by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), the conference aimed to unite researchers, engineers, and practitioners focused on technological advancements and business applications of web-based information systems. The conference emphasized four main areas: internet technology, web interfaces and applications, society/e-business/e-government, and e-learning. WEBIST 2008 attracted 238 paper submissions from over 40 countries, undergoing a rigorous double-blind review process involving more than 200 experts from the international Program Committee. Ultimately, 32 papers were chosen for full publication, with an additional 64 presented as short papers and 58 as posters. The acceptance ratio for full papers was 13%, while the overall oral paper acceptance ratio stood at 40%. We hope the selected papers offer valuable insights and serve as a useful reference for those engaged in the highlighted research areas.
