This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of six workshops held in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2007 in Nancy, France, in December 2007. The 44 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for presentation in the six workshops. The workshops discuss a broad range of subjects.
