["K. Pawlikowski" <krys@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz>]

 Special Issue of the Journal of Research and Practice in Information 
 Technology on
 
 Web-Based Information Systems
 
 Submission deadline: June 15, 2001
 
 CALL FOR PAPERS
 
 Web-based information systems are information systems that allow the 
 management of data and business processes over the web. This differs 
 from simple and static web-sites in that web-based information 
 systems are data-intensive and dynamic. They integrate web 
 applications with corporate database systems and allow for complex 
 e-business activities. The design, implementation and maintenance of 
 web-based information systems will naturally require and rely on 
 techniques from database systems, workflow systems and internet 
 technology.
 
 We seek contributions that present novel approaches and techniques 
 for the design and implementation of web-based information systems or 
 that report on successful prototypes of web-based information 
 systems. 
 
 Topics include (but are not limited to):
 * Modelling and design of web-based information systems
 * Prototypes of web-based information systems
 * Mediator and integration techniques
 * Querying the Web
 * Data and web mining
 * Data and web warehousing
 * Workflows over the web
 * Access control and security in web-based information systems
 * XML and databases
 * Transaction management over the web
 * Tools for the design and implementation of web-based information
systems
 
 Submissions should clearly identify their contribution in the 
 introduction and thoroughly compare its achievements with respect to 
 related work within the paper. Successful submissions will also 
 demonstrate the novelty of the presented approach by illustrative, 
 realistic examples. Practice and experience papers should also 
 include a reference to the web-site hosting the prototype. Papers 
 (which should be clearly marked as being for the Special Issue) 
 should be submitted to jrpit@cs.flinders.edu.au with a subject line 
 including the words "JRPIT Special Issue - WBIS" by the deadline, 
 June 15, 2001, adhering to the general guidelines for authors. 
 
 Instructions for authors can be found at 
 http://www.jrpit.flinders.edu.au/ACJAuthors.html. Papers will 
 normally be between 4,500 and 5,500 words (including an allowance for 
 diagrams) although longer and shorter papers will be considered.

 All papers should include a 100 word abstract, and a list of 
 key-words or phrases. All submitted papers will be refereed in 
 accordance with the usual criteria and guidelines of the Journal of 
 Research and Practice in Information Technology.
