This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Worldwide Computing and Its Applications, WWCA'98, held in Tsukuba, Japan, in March 1998. This volume presents 14 invited and survey papers together with 20 papers selected by the conference committee. The volume is divided into topical sections on distributed objects, distributed componentware, distributed systems platforms, Internet technology, mobile computing, interculture technology, collaborative media, collaborative support, information discovery and retrieval, novel network applications.
