CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES 

In these last years the World Wide Web and the Internet have been used 
not only to communicate and share information, but more and more as a 
deployment infrastructure for distributed applications. 
On the other hand, Grid systems allow the flexible, secure, coordinated 
resource sharing among dynamic collections of  individuals,
institutions, 
and resources, enabling virtual organizations and world-wide 
distributed high-performance applications.

Although Web and Grid systems followed different paths in their
development, 
they share many problems and most probably will employ common solutions.

Next-generation Web and Grid systems should be able to produce, use, 
and deploy knowledge, offering knowledge-empowered middleware and
services. 

The main goal of the track is to bring together researchers of Web and 
Grid communities to discuss key problems and identify overlapping areas 
in solutions and approaches for semantic middleware and knowledge-based
services for Next-Generation Web and Grid Systems.

Key challenges in today's Web and Grid Systems are: 

  (i) the need to deal with data sources and computational resources 
      that are distributed, heterogeneous, and dynamic, exploiting
adaptively 
      available computational models, resources discovery protocols, 
      metadata management systems, ontologies and semantic modelling 
      of web and grid resources; 

 (ii) the need to take decisions using implicit knowledge available at 
      different layers (from the network to the application layer), 
      employing specialized components or services for data mining, 
      knowledge elicitation and sharing.

Some emerging models and technologies that fulfill some requirements of 
Next-Generation Web and Grid systems are the following.

    * Adaptive Web Systems are able to adapt themselves to different
user 
      requirements and to manage, in an integrated way, the sources of
heterogeneity, 
      due to world-wide diffusion and access.

    * The  Semantic Web is widely accepted as a means to enhance 
      the Web with machine processable content.

    * The Semantic Grid attempts to extend Semantic Web approaches and
solutions 
      to take into account Grid characteristics.

    * Knowledge Grids offer high-level tools and techniques for
distributed 
      knowledge extraction from data repositories on the Grid, such as 
      (i) synthesizing useful and usable knowledge from data; 
      (ii) leveraging the Grid infrastructure to perform sophisticated
data-intensive largescale computation.

    * Peer-to-Peer is at once a set of protocols, a computing model, 
      and a design philosophy for distributed, decentralized, and
self-organizing systems.

    * Ubiquitous computing describes distributed computing devices, 
      such as personal devices, wearable computers, and sensors in the
environment, 
      and the software and hardware infrastructures
      needed to support applications on these computing devices.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical or
experimental nature, 
or be unique experience reports. Interested authors should submit a
6-page summary 
of their original and unpublished work including 5 keywords in the IEEE
format to the track chair. 
IEEE Proceedings format available at
http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm.
Electronic submission in the PDF or Word format is strongly encouraged. 
For instructions on electronic submissions, Click at
http://www.ee.unlv.edu/~it/electronic.html
(we will update this link later on the main page).

EVALUATION PROCESS:
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
soundness. 
Per ITCC policy, except for invited papers, all papers will be reviewed
by at 
least two independent reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in
the 
conference proceedings with an ISBN. Selected track papers presented in
the conference 
will be considered for publication in a special issue of an
international journal.

BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD:
The Best Student Paper will be awarded at the conference. To be
eligible, 
the student must be the sole author of the paper, or the first author
and primary contributor. 
(The winner of the award will present the paper in a plenary session at
the conference). 
A cover letter to the General Chair/Track Chair must identify the paper
as a 
candidate for this competition at the time of submission.
