More about the book

The Asia-Pacific region has rapidly become a leader in Web technologies and has significantly contributed to WWW research and development. Since the inaugural Asia-Pacific Web conference in 1998, APWeb has served as a vital platform for researchers, professionals, and industry practitioners to exchange knowledge and report advancements in WWW technologies and applications. In 2004, APWeb received an impressive 386 full-paper submissions, comprising 375 research papers and 11 industrial papers from 20 countries, including Australia, Canada, China, and the USA. Each submission underwent a rigorous review process by three program committee members. Ultimately, 60 regular papers, 24 short papers, 15 poster papers, and 3 industrial papers were selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The chosen papers addressed a diverse array of topics such as Web services, Web intelligence, personalization, query processing, mining, XML databases, workflow management, E-commerce, data warehousing, P2P systems, Grid computing, and networking. Notably, the paper “Towards Adaptive Probabilistic Search in Unstructured P2P Systems,” co-authored by Linhao Xu and others, was honored as the best student paper at APWeb 2004.
