On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems 2004: CoopIS, DOA, and ODBASE : OTM Confederated International Conferences, CoopIS, DOA, and ODBASE 2004, Agia Napa, Cyprus, October 25-29, 2004. Proceedings. Part II

Sers: Gada, Mois, Wose, And Interop. We Trust That Their Audiences Will Mutually Productively And Happily Mingle With Those Of The Main Conferences. A Special Mention For 2004 Is In Order For The New Doctoral Symposium Workshop Where Three Young Post-doc Researchers Organized An Original Set-up And Formula To Bring Phd Students Together And Allow Them To Submit Their Research Proposals For Selection. A Limited Number Of The Submissions And Their Approaches Will Be Independently Evaluated By A Panel Of Senior Experts At The Conference, And Presented By The Students In Front Of A Wider Audience. These Students Also Got Free Access To All Other Parts Of The Otm Program, And Only Paid A Heavily Discounted Fee For The Doctoral Symposium Itself (in Fact Their Attendance Is Largely Sponsored By The Other Participants!). If Evaluated As S- Cessful, It Is The Intention Of The General Chairs To Expand This Model In Future Editionsoftheotmconferencesandsodrawinanaudienceofyoungresearchers To The Onthemove Forum. All Three Main Conferences And The Associated Workshops Share The Dist- Buted Aspects Of Modern Computing Systems, And The Resulting Application-pull Created By The Internet And The So-called Semantic Web.

A limited number of the submissions and their approaches were independently evaluated by a panel of senior experts at the conference, and presented by the students in front of a wider audience. These students also got free access to all other parts of the OTM program, and only paid a heavily discounted fee for the Doctoral Symposium itself. (In fact their attendance was largely sponsored by the other participants!) If evaluated as successful, it is the intention of the General Chairs to expand this model in future editions of the OTM conferences and so draw in an audience of young researchers to the OnTheMove forum. All three main conferences and the associated workshops share the d- tributed aspects of modern computing systems, and the resulting applicati- pull created by the Internet and the so-called Semantic Web. For DOA 2004, the primary emphasis stayed on the distributed object infrastructure; for ODBASE 2004, it was the knowledge bases and methods required for enabling the use of formalsemantics;andforCoopIS2004themaintopicwastheinteractionofsuch technologies and methods with management issues, such as occurs in networked organizations. These subject areas naturally overlap and many submissions in factalsotreatenvisagedmutualimpactsamongthem.

This two-volume set LNCS 3290/3291 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the three confederated conferences CoopIS 2004, DOA 2004, and ODBASE 2004 held as OTM 2004 in Agia Napa, Cyprus in October 2004.

The 94 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 380 submissions. In accordance with the three OTM 2004 main conferences CoopIS, DOA, and ODBASE, the papers are devoted to interoperability, workflow, and cooperation; distributed objects, infrastructure and enabling technology, and Internet computing; and data and Web semantics.

Current workflow management systems (WFMS) which are driven by explicit process models offer little aid for the acquisition of workflow models and their adaptation to changing requirements [ 1 ].
