This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of nine international workshops, EI2N+NSF ICE, ICSP, INBAST, ISDE, MONET, ORM, SeDeS, SWWS, and VADER 2011, held as part of OTM 2011 in Hersonissos on the island of Crete, Greece, in October 2011. The 64 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 104 submissions. The volume also includes three papers from the On the Move Academy (OTMA) 2011 and five ODBASE 2011 poster papers. Topics of the workshop papers are enterprise integration and semantics, information centric engineering, interoperability, industrial and business applications of semantic Web applications, information systems in distributed environments, process management in distributed information system development, distributed information systems: implementation issues and applications, industrial applications of fact-oriented modeling, data warehouse modeling, extensions to fact-oriented modeling, model validation procedures, schema transformations and mapping, semantic Web and Web semantics, ontology development, deployment and interoperability, data access and efficient computation, efficient information processing, exchange and knowledge synthesis algorithms, mobile and networking technologies for social applications, semantic and decision support, variability in software architecture, and dynamic and adaptive architectures.

The two-volume set LNCS 7044 and 7045 constitutes the refereed proceedings of three confederated international conferences: Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS 2011), Distributed Objects and Applications - Secure Virtual Infrastructures (DOA-SVI 2011), and Ontologies, DataBases and Applications of SEmantics (ODBASE 2011) held as part of OTM 2011 in October 2011 in Hersonissos on the island of Crete, Greece. The 55 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 141 submissions. The 27 papers included in the first volume constitute the proceedings of CoopIS 2011 and are organized in topical sections on business process repositories, business process compliance and risk management, service orchestration and workflows, intelligent information systems and distributed agent systems, emerging trends in business process support, techniques for building cooperative information systems, security and privacy in collaborative applications, and data and information management.

The 28 papers included in the second volume constitute the proceedings of DOA-SVI 2011 with 15 full papers organized in topical sections on performance measurement and optimization, instrumentation, monitoring, and provisioning, quality of service, security and privacy, and models and methods, and ODBASE 2011 with 9 full papers organized in topical sections on acquisition of semantic information, use of semantic information, and reuse of semantic information and 4 short papers.

Internet-based information systems, the second covering the large-scale in- gration of heterogeneous computing systems and data resources with the aim of providing a global computing space. Eachofthesefourconferencesencouragesresearcherstotreattheirrespective topics within a framework that incorporates jointly (a) theory, (b) conceptual design and development, and (c) applications, in particular case studies and industrial solutions. Following and expanding the model created in 2003, we again solicited and selected quality workshop proposals to complement the more "archival" nature of the main conferences with research results in a number of selected and more "avant-garde" areas related to the general topic of Web-based distributed c- puting. For instance, the so-called Semantic Web has given rise to several novel research areas combining linguistics, information systems technology, and ar- ?cial intelligence, such as the modeling of (legal) regulatory systems and the ubiquitous nature of their usage. We were glad to see that ten of our earlier s- cessful workshops (ADI, CAMS, EI2N, SWWS, ORM, OnToContent, MONET, SEMELS, COMBEK, IWSSA) re-appeared in 2008 with a second, third or even ?fth edition, sometimes by alliance with other newly emerging workshops, and that no fewer than three brand-new independent workshops could be selected from proposals and hosted: ISDE, ODIS and Beyond SAWSDL. Workshop - diences productively mingled with each other and with those of the main c- ferences, and there was considerable overlap in authors.

This two-volume set LNCS 5870/5871 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the four confederated international conferences on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS 2009), Distributed Objects and Applications (DOA 2009), Information Security (IS 2009), and Ontologies, Databases and Applications of Semantics (ODBASE 2009), held as OTM 2009 in Vilamoura, Portugal, in November 2009.

The 83 revised full papers presented together with 4 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 234 submissions. Corresponding to the four OTM 2009 main conferences CoopIS, DOA, IS, and ODBASE the papers are organized in topical sections on workflow; process models; ontology challenges; network complexity; modeling cooperation; information complexity; infrastructure; information; aspect-oriented approaches for distributed middleware; distributed algorithms and communication protocols; distributed infrastructures for cluster and Grid computing; object-based, component-based, resource-oriented, event-oriented, and service-oriented middleware; peer-to-peer and centralized infrastructures; performance analysis of distributed computing systems; reliability, fault tolerance, quality of service, and real time support; self* properties in distributed middleware; software engineering for distributed middleware systems; security and privacy in a connected world; ubiquitous and pervasive computing; information systems security; privacy and authentication; security policies and verification; managing ontologies; using ontologies; event processing; dealing with heterogeneity; building knowledge bases; and XML and XML schema.

In2007theISworkshop (Information Security) was added to try cover also the speci?c issues of security in complex Internet-based information systems.
