Preface

Information systems in transportation, health-care and public utility services depend on computing infrastructure. Many research efforts are being made in related areas, such as wireless computing, data warehousing, stream processing, text-based computing, and information accesse by Web users. Government agencies in many countries plan to launch facilities in education, health-care and information support as e-government initiatives. In this context, Web content and query interface adaptation for ubiquitous access to data resources has become an active research field. A number of new opportunities have evolved in design and modeling based on th
