The chapters of this book provide an excellent snapshot of
current research and development activities in the area of query
processing and optimization. They supply potential answers to many
questions that have been raised for new types of database systems
and at the same time reflect the variety of the different
approaches taken. The book acts both as a reference for the state
of the art in query processing for the "next generation" of
database systems, and as a good starting point for anybody
interested in understanding the challenging questions in the area.
Furthermore, the book will help the reader to gain an in-depth
understanding of why efficient query processing is needed for
future database systems.
This highly focused and practical book looks at the issues involved
in integrating learning technologies within teaching and learning.
With in-text activities to encourage readers to think about what
they do, the book demonstrates how academics can improve their
teaching using technology. It raises issues about the educational
value of using technology and considers the pressures forcing
change in higher education. The book covers a wide range, from
making lecture aids to creating multimedia resources, and includes
discussion of: +educational perspectives+developing new teaching
strategies for larger student groups+using computers to deliver
teaching and learning resources+using computers to communicate with
and between students.This book can stand alone or can be used in
conjunction with Technology In Teaching And Learning. The two books
cover all aspects of transforming teaching using technology. This
book covers the educational issues.

WISE 2008 was held in Auckland, New Zealand, during September 1-3,
at The Auckland University ofTechnology City Campus Conference
Centre. The aim of this conferencewasto providean
internationalforum for researchers, professi- als, and industrial
practitioners to share their knowledge in the rapidly growing area
of Web technologies, methodologies, and applications. Previous WISE
c- ferences wereheld in Hong Kong, China (2000), Kyoto, Japan
(2001), Singapore (2002), Rome, Italy (2003), Brisbane, Australia
(2004), New York, USA (2005), Wuhan, China (2006) and Nancy, France
(2007). The call for papers created considerable interest. Around
110 paper s- missions were received and the international Program
Committee selected 31 papers out of the 110 submissions (an
acceptance rate of 28. 2%). Of these, 17 papers were chosen for
standard presentation and the remaining 14 papers for short
presentation. The authors of the accepted papers range across 13
co- tries: Australia, China, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea,
New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland and the USA. The
technical track of the WISE 2008 program o?ered nine paper
presentation sessions. The selected - pers covered a wide and
important variety of issues in Web information systems engineering
such as querying; search; ranking; trust; peer-to-peer networks; -
formation ?ltering; information integration; agents and mining. A
few selected papers from WISE 2008 will be published in a special
issue of the World Wide Web Journal, bySpringer. Inaddition, a
$1000prizewasawardedto the authors

members andexternalreviewersfor their excellent work.
The Sixth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems was
held at Les Mazets des Roches near Tarascon, Provence in southern
France from the fifth to the ninth of September 1994. The
attractive context and autumn warmth greeted the 53 participants
from 12 countries spread over five continents. Persistent object
systems continue to grow in importance. Almost all significant uses
of computers to support human endeavours depend on long-lived and
large-scale systems. As expectations and ambitions rise so the
sophistication of the systems we attempt to build also rises. The
quality and integrity of the systems and their feasibility for
supporting large groups of co-operating people depends on their
technical founda tion. Persistent object systems are being
developed which provide a more robust and yet simpler foundation
for these persistent applications. The workshop followed the
tradition of the previous workshops in the series, focusing on the
design, implementation and use of persistent object systems in
particular and persistent systems in general. There were clear
signs that this line of research is maturing, as engineering issues
were discussed with the aid of evidence from operational systems.
The work presented covered the complete range of database
facilities: transactions, concurrency, distribution, integrity and
schema modifica tion. There were examples of very large scale use,
one involving tens of terabytes of data. Language issues,
particularly the provision of reflection, continued to be
important."
