**********************************************************

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 integration 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 address recent 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.
