**************** Overview ****************
Almost everyone nowadays access the Internet, whether it be for  
communication, work, business, leisure, entertainment, or simply  
curiosity. Web applications open a new era having the characteristics,  
which were not exist in the traditional, non web-based computer  
systems. The large number of users, the enormous amount of information  
on the web, and the complexity of the applications require complex and  
specific treatments to deal with the methodology and techniques for  
information sharing, modelling, and system implementation through the  
Internet. Correspondingly, web information systems feature in three  
dimensions: the user dimension, the content dimension, and the system  
dimension, each of which reflect the three main components of human- 
web interactions.

**************** Mission ****************
The International Journal of Web Information Systems (IJWIS) is a  
premium journal, which publishes high quality papers and disseminates  
knowledge on an international basis in the wide and challenging areas  
of web information systems. It serves as an excellent channel for  
communicating and exchanging ideas among researchers, academics, and  
practitioners who work, teach, study, and research in web technology  
and systems. The journal is devoted to the publications of outstanding  
papers on theoretical developments and practical applications in web  
information systems. Original research papers, state-of-the-art  
reviews, case studies, practical experiences and technical notes are  
invited for publications. It is an essential reading for those needing  
to keep up-to-date of the issues and practices in web information  
systems.

**************** Submission Guidelines  ****************
Submission should be sent to the editors at (ijwis at iiwas.org). Each  
paper is reviewed by the editors and, if it is judged suitable for  
this publication, it is then sent to two referees for double blind  
peer review. Based on their recommendations, the editors then decide  
whether the paper should be accepted as it is, revised or rejected.
