	WEBIST is organized by INSTICC - Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication. SCOPE The purpose of the 6th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies (WEBIST) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the technological advances and business applications of web-based information systems. The conference has four main track, covering different aspects of Web Information Systems, including Internet Technology, Web Interfaces and Applications, Society, e-Communities, e-Business and Web Intelligence. WEBIST focuses on real world applications; therefore authors should highlight the benefits of Web Information Systems and Technologies for industry and services, in addition to academic applications. Ideas on how to solve business problems, using web based information systems and technologies, will arise from the conference. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Both technological and social-oriented papers are accepted. All papers must describe original work, not previously published or submitted to another conference. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of WEBIST. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions. Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial, workshop or special session are invited to contact the conference secretariat or visit the conference website (http://www.webist.org). CONFERENCE AREAS Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas: Internet Technology Web Interfaces and Applications Society, e-Business and e-Government Web Intelligence AREA 1 - INTERNET TECHNOLOGY XML and data management Web Security and Privacy Intrusion Detection and Response Authentication and Access Control Web Services and Web Engineering System Integration Databases and Datawarehouses Wireless Applications Distributed and Parallel Applications Protocols and Standards Network systems, proxies and servers Agents AREA 2 - WEB INTERFACES AND APPLICATIONS Multimedia and User interfaces Accessibility issues and Technology User Modeling Web Personalization Usability and Ergonomics Personalized Web Sites and Services Portal strategies Searching and Browsing Ontology and the Semantic Web Metadata and Metamodeling Digital Libraries Web Geographical Information Systems AREA 3 - SOCIETY, e-BUSINESS and e-GOVERNMENT e-Business and e-Commerce e-Payment B2B, B2C and C2C Knowledge Management Social Networks and Organizational Culture Social Information Systems Communities of practice Communities of interest Social & Legal Issues Tele-Work and Collaboration e-Government AREA 4 - WEB INTELLIGENCE Web Content Mining e-Mail Classification Web Site Classification Learning User Profiles Web-Based Direct Marketing and CRM Web Farming and Warehousing Web Information Filtering and Retrieval Web Site Navigation Support Systems Grid Intelligence Meta-Knowledge Discovery and Representation KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Žiga Turk, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia / Reflection Group, E.U. PUBLICATIONS All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a LNBIP Series book. The proceedings will be indexed by Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC and DBLP. EI already agreed to index the proceedings of WEBIST 2006, 2007 and 2008. Proceedings of WEBIST 2009 are under evaluation and the proceedings of WEBIST 2010 will be evaluated by EI after their publication. VENUE Valencia was founded by the ancient Romans in 137 BC and has been pillaged, burned and besieged numerous times by various conquerors over the centuries since, but the vivacious Spanish city has sailed into the second millennium as Europe's quintessential sophisticated modern holiday city, a favoured location for the America's Cup yacht race. Situated on the Mediterranean coast about four hours south of Barcelona, Valencia is spread out around its busy port and backed by the hills which give way to the plains of Aragon. Valencia oozes traditional character, particularly in its old town (El Carmen), and has retained its cultural heritage not only in the form of medieval architecture but also in its quirky, exuberant festivals (like the Battle of the Flowers, the fireworks of Fallas and one dedicated to tomato-hurling). The Valencians even have their own language. Amid the old, Valencia has very much that is new, including its major attraction, the ultra-modern City of Arts and Sciences, which draws around four million appreciative visitors each year. Outdoors it is hard to beat the golden beaches which fan out from the port along the coast, and the sprawling city offers plenty of green parks for strolling, cycling or simply lolling on a bench to get your breath back after indulging in the vibrancy of the city. Football is also a local passion, Valencia's team being at the top of the game, and fans should not miss the atmosphere at one of the carnival-like matches. When night falls, dine on paella, which originated here, and then hit the high spots, because Valencia is renowned for its lively collection of bars and clubs. It may sound clichéd, but Valencia does indeed fit the bill as the holiday city, which 'has it all'.
