This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the Third International Workshop on Innovative Internet Community Systems, IICS 2003, held in Leipzig, Germany in June 2003. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were selected from more than 30 submissions. Among the topics addressed are semantic search, network communities, e-learning, message-oriented middleware, networked information spaces, mobile business processes, distributed communication systems, distributed Web applications, semantic Web environments, file-sharing systems, network intrusion detection, protocols, self-organizing networks, XML, and linguistic knowledge services.

Nowadays, the Internet is the most commonly used medium for the exchange of data in di?erent forms. Presently, over 60 million machines have access to the Internet and to its resources. However, the Internet is also the largest distributed system o?ering di?erent computational services and possibilities not only for cluster computing. If the needs of modern mobile computing and multimedia systems are taken into account, it becomes clear that modern methods must ensure an e?ective development and management of the Internet allowing each user fast access to this huge resource space. The Innovative Internet Computing Systems workshop is organized by the Gesellschaft fur ¨ Informatik(GI) in Germany. It intends to be an open me- ing point for scientists dealing with di?erent aspects of this complex topic. In contrast to the Distributed Communities on the Web workshops, which can be 2 considered as the roots of I CS, special attention is given to fundamental - search works and the application of theoretical and formal results in practical implementations.
