Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context

The rapid growth in Internet, World Wide Web and Intranet systems has led to a demand for increased sophistication in established information services, engineering techniques and methods to improve the development of information systems in a World Wide Web environment. This text addresses key state-of-the-art developments in Internet-based IS engineering. It contains selected papers presented and discussed at the International Conference on Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Kanazawa, Japan in September 2002.
