Cooperative Internet Computing (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)

This book is a compilation of the papers that were presented at the International Workshop on Cooperative Internet Computing (CIC2002). The contributed papers address a broad spectrum on cooperative internet computing, ranging from the more fundamental modeling and specification issues of cooperative systems, to the more application-oriented issues on the popular XML-related system design and implementation. To help structure the book, we have organized these papers into four broad areas of interests:

- Distributed Objects and Videos,
- Web and E-commerce,
- XML and Query Processing,
- Modeling and Specification.

Cooperative Internet Computing is designed to meet the needs of a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This book is also suitable as a reference text for graduate level students in Computer Science.
