This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of seven international workshops held in conjunction with the 5th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications, ISPA 2007, held in Niagara Falls, Canada, in August 2007 (see LNCS 4742).

The 53 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from many high quality submissions. The workshops are very specific and contribute to enlarging the spectrum of the more general topics treated in the ISPA 2007 main conference. Topics addressed are Security and Survivability in Distributed Sensor Networks (SSDSN 2007), Ubiquitous Processing for Wireless Networks (UPWN 2007), Intelligent Systems and Smart Home (WISH 2007), Semantic and Grid Computing (SGC 2007), Parallel and Distributed Multimedia Computing (ParDMCom 2007), High Performance Computing in Medicine and Biology (HiPCoMB 2007), as well as Intelligent Systems Techniques for Ad Hoc and Wireless Sensor Networks (IST-AWSN 2007).
