Web information utilization has become a critical emerging research area due to the exponential increase in the information circulation and dissemination over the Web. Many challenging problems must be solved in order to utilize and exploit Web information that is both heterogeneous and dynamic in nature. This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2004, held in Brisbane, Australia in November 2004. The purpose of this book is to identify the challenging problems facing the development of Web information systems, and to shape future research directions and development activities in this area. Overall, this book has a quite interesting collection of papers which include original work in the area of Web information systems engineering and which are quite intuitive in terms of understanding and progressing research activities in this field. In particular, this book contains 74 papers (45 full papers and 29...
