WORKSHOP THEME
====================

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers working
on Data Compression, Adaptive Hypermedia Systems and Web Systems, to
explore novel uses and applications of lossy and lossless compression
algorithms, as well as summarization systems, in (Web) Adaptive
Hypermedia Systems.

Nowadays, given the explosion of on-line information sources and the
existence of massive information universes, some forms of (semi-)
automatic lossless/lossy compression and synthesis of data are becoming
crucial. 

The main objective of compression/synthesis is the production of a
concise, condensed representation of the key information content of an
information source, for a particular user and task. It is considered a
crucial aspect to “scale” the complexity and size of web contents with
respect to many different aspects, such as (i) used technology (kind of
terminal, network bandwidth etc.), (ii) contextual conditions (time,
place, battery conditions etc.), (iii) user wishes and expectations. 

In modern applications, for such tasks, different approaches are
considered. First, classical and more recent lossless/lossy data
compression methods are applied. Furthermore, it is also becoming
imperative to investigate new idea which consider the user’s perception
band (i.e. how much information the user considers interesting and/or
useful at a certain time) and the necessity of very high compression
ratios. In such cases, lossy data synthesis methods are needed, which
remove details and provide suitable aggregations, e.g. by restructuring
some schemata.
 

TOPICS OF INTEREST 
====================

- Models for multi-format hypermedia documents

- Algorithms for the adaptive compression/synthesis of hypermedia
documents

- Lossless and lossy compression/synthesis algorithms (for specific
types of data such as images, videos, audio, and for semi-structured
data)

- Schema extraction and restructuring of semi- structured data (e.g.
XML)

- Browsing and searching of compressed/synthesized data

- Applications of compression/synthesis for Adaptive Hypermedia Systems

- Applications of compression/synthesis for Mobile Computing

- Applications of compression/synthesis for Knowledge Discovery and Data
Mining.

- Multilingual synthesis and use of linguistic representations, thesauri
and ontology

- Natural language generation for synthesis, production of abstracts and
extracts, in Adaptive Hypermedia 

Workshop Proceedings
====================

The Proceedings of the workshop will be published after the workshop
(thus allowing the authors to review their papers on the basis of
discussions at the workshop) as a book. At the workshop a CD-ROM will be
distributed to the
participants.

INVITED TALK
====================

The New Science of Discovery and the Algorithmics of Surprise 
Alberto Apostolico (Purdue Univ., USA – Univ. of Padova, Italy)
http://www.cs.purdue.edu/faculty/axa.html

Current progresses in ICT are forcing a completely new scenario and a
wild paradigm shift. The new scenario is that data and information
accumulate at a pace no longer fit for direct human inspection. The
paradigm shift is that, in contrast to tradition, the bottleneck in
communication is no longer represented by the channel or medium but
rather by the limited perceptual bandwidth of the final user. At some
core level in this transition, novel techniques supporting the automated
discovery of patterns and their associations or ``rules'' in disparate
contexts and media are being developed. This talk examines some of the
apparent paradoxes that undermine such developments, and takes glimpses
of a territory of challenges that seems largely unexplored.
