SCOPE. The current and future software needs are towards the
development of large and complex Intelligent Networked Information
Systems, covering a wide range of issues (such as Data and Web
Semantics, Distributed Objects, Web Services, Databases, Workflow,
Cooperation, Interoperability, Mobility) as required for the
deployment of Internet- and Intranet-based systems in organizations
and for e-business. This federated event, colocating DOA'02,
ODBASE'02, and CoopIS'02, will provide a unique opportunity for
researchers and practitioners to understand the recent developments in
ubiquitous computing.

SOLICITATIONS. Two kinds of submissions are being solicited. Full
scientific papers, to be reviewed rigorously by at least three members
of one of the Program Committees of the federated event. Relevant
practice reports on on-going industrial research projects, case
studies, best practices, etc. in the areas covered, mainly from
industrial, business and commercial practice, to be selected for
relevance and quality by a separate Industry Track Program Committee.
Selected scientific papers or practice reports will be published in
the scientific conference proceedings or Industry Track proceedings,
respectively. The final proceedings will be published by
Springer Verlag (Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series).
