Preface
Ever since its inception, the Web has changed the landscape of human experiences on how we interact with one another and data through service infrastructure via various computing devices. This interweaving environment is now becoming ever more embedded into devices and systems that integrates seamlessly on how we live, in our working or leisure time. This special volume on “Weaving Services and People on the WWW”, features some of the cutting-edge research work that were presented at the Workshop Track of the 17th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW2008) held at Beijing, China, from April 21–25, 2008. The Workshop Track received 24 proposals and after a rigorous reviewing process ten full-day workshops were selected, of which two workshops were half-day workshops. They were: • WS1 – Web Science Workshop (WSW2008) by Wendy Hall, Nigel Shadbolt, Tim Berners-Lee, Daniel Weitzner, and James Hendler. • WS2 – Location and the Web (LocWeb) 2008 by Susanne Boll, Christopher Jones, Eric Kansa, Puneet Kishor, Mor Naaman, Ross Purves, Arno Scharl and Erik Wilde. • WS3 – International Workshop on Co
