The two-volume set LNCS 7649 + 7650 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC 2012, held in Boston, MA, USA, in November 2012. The International Semantic Web Conference is the premier forum for Semantic Web research, where cutting edge scientific results and technological innovations are presented, where problems and solutions are discussed, and where the future of this vision is being developed. It brings together specialists in fields such as artificial intelligence, databases, social networks, distributed computing, Web engineering, information systems, human-computer interaction, natural language processing, and the social sciences. Volume 1 contains a total of 41 papers which were presented in the research track. They were carefully reviewed and selected from 186 submissions. Volume 2 contains 17 papers from the in-use track which were accepted from 77 submissions. In addition, it presents 8 contributions to the evaluations and experiments track and 7 long papers and 8 short papers of the doctoral consortium.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2011, held in Sydney, Australia, in October 2011.
The 17 revised full papers and 11 revised short papers presented together with 7 demo papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 96 submissions. The papers contained in these proceedings address challenging issues in software services, Web application engineering and modelling, Web search, social networks, Web semantics, and information retrieval and extraction.

This volume contains the papers from the technical programmeof the 5th Eu- pean Semantic Web Conference, ESWC 2008, that took place during June 1-5, 2008 in Tenerife, Islas Canarias, Spain. ESWC 2008 was the latest in a series of annual, international events foc- ing on the dissemination and discussion of the latest research and applications of Semantic Web technologies. The call for papers saw over 270 submissions, a comparable ?gure to the previous year, indicating that the conference series has reached a certain level of maturity. The review process was organized - ing a two-tiered system. First, each submission was reviewed by at least three members of the ProgrammeCommittee. Submissions were also assignedto a - niorProgrammeCommitteemember, wholed discussionsbetweenreviewersand provided a metareview and provisional decision. A physical Programme C- mittee meeting was then held, where the ?nal decisions weremade. Competition was as strong as ever, and the Programme Committee selected 51 papers to be presented at the conference. In addition to the technical research paper track, a system demo track was included, withits ownreviewprocess. Twenty-?vedemo paperswereselectedfor publication. System demo authors were given the opportunity to present their workin dedicated sessionsduring the conference, while anevening receptionwas also devoted to the presentation of posters and demonstrations of systems. As in past years, ESWC subscribed to the call to "eat our own dog food," withthepublicationofarichsetofsemanticmetadatadescribingtheconference. Three invited talks were given by distinguished scientists: Nigel Shadbolt (Garlik Ltd.

In diesem Werk zum Thema Software-Architekturen veranschaulichen drei international renommierte Experten den Zusammenhang zwischen Prinzipien, Standardarchitekturen und praxisrelevanten Problemstellungen aus den Bereichen Web Services, Peer-to-Peer, Workflow und weiteren Anwendungsgebieten. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Praktiker, Software-Projektmanager und Studenten der Informatik/Wirtschaftsinformatik, die fur Design und Entwicklung von grossen verteilten Softwaresystemen verantwortlich oder am Einsatz solcher Systeme in ihrem Arbeitsbereich interessiert sind. Hier wird erstmals der "State of the Art" in der Forschung industrierelevant und verstandlich umgesetzt. Die Autoren konnen auf jahrelange Erfahrung im Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbereich im Rahmen von grossen multinationalen Entwicklungsprojekten verweisen."
