==============================================================

The main way of accessing content on contemporary Web is by means of general purpose search engines. However, for reasons such as: password protection, FORM based interfaces and usage of dynamic client-side technologies (JavaScript, AJAX and Flash), a significant portion of modern Web content remains nonindexable and thus unavailable to the majority of Web users. In many cases this nonindexable information sources, known altogether under the names of Deep Web, Hidden Web or Invisible Web, are better structured and of better quality than indexable surface Web sources. Started only recently, Deep Web research combines challenges from several active research areas including information retrieval, information extraction, hypertext, Web engineering, data integration, database technologies and the Semantic Web.

The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners together to explore the issues and challenges related to domain dependent and independent Deep Web empirical studies, methodologies and techniques of accessing and processing Deep Web content as well as their real-life applications. In the workshop we would like to present and discuss research, business cases and working prototypes / applications in areas including, but no limited to:

Submission system is available on-line at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adw2008.

The proceedings will be published jointly with proceedings of other BIS workshops as a book or CD with ISBN number, and on-line at CEUR WS.org workshop proceedings publication service (open content). Extended version of selected papers submitted to the workshop will be published as special issue of International Journal on WWW/Internet (http://www.iadis.org/ijwi/, ISSN: 1645-7641). WORKSHOP FORMAT

All authors of accepted papers as well as other participants will be asked to read accepted papers abstracts before the workshop (papers will be available on-line in advance) to facilitate discussion. The workshop will consist in two parts: first (more formal) devoted to presentation and discussion of accepted papers and second (less formal) devoted to discussion of several issues related to Deep Web resources, selected earlier by workshop Program Committee and Chairs. Workshop participants will be also invited to take part in the BIS conference and other BIS workshops (including workshops on Social Aspects of the Web (SAW 2008) and on E-Learning for Business Needs).
