Innovative Internet Computing Systems

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the second international workshop on Innovative Internet Computing Systems, IICS 2002, held in KA1/4hlungsborn, Germany, in June 2002.
The 19 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from over 30 submissions. Among the topics addressed are large-scale distributed computing infrastructures presenting new challenges to information and Web technology, the management and retrieval of web-based information, content classification, web-based communities management, structure and retrieval of information from large distributed data bases, and the representation of the distributed nature of information by means of graph-theoretical models.
