Internet-based information systems, the second covering the large-scale in- gration of heterogeneous computing systems and data resources with the aim of providing a global computing space. Eachofthesefourconferencesencouragesresearcherstotreattheirrespective topics within a framework that incorporates jointly (a) theory, (b) conceptual design and development, and (c) applications, in particular case studies and industrial solutions. Following and expanding the model created in 2003, we again solicited and selected quality workshop proposals to complement the more “archival” nature of the main conferences with research results in a number of selected and more “avant-garde” areas related to the general topic of Web-based distributed c- puting. For instance, the so-called Semantic Web has given rise to several novel research areas combining linguistics, information systems technology, and ar- ?cial intelligence, such as the modeling of (legal) regulatory systems and the ubiquitous nature of their usage. We were glad to see that ten of our earlier s- cessful workshops (ADI, CAMS, EI2N, SWWS, ORM, OnToContent, MONET, SEMELS, COMBEK, IWSSA) re-appeared in 2008 with a second, third or even ?fth edition, sometimes by alliance with other newly emerging workshops, and that no fewer than three brand-new independent workshops could be selected from proposals and hosted: ISDE, ODIS and Beyond SAWSDL. Workshop - diences productively mingled with each other and with those of the main c- ferences, and there was considerable overlap in authors.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the following 9 international workshops: OTM Academy, OTM Industry Case Studies Program, Cloud and Trusted Computing, C&TC, Enterprise Integration, Interoperability, and Networking, EI2N, Industrial and Business Applications of Semantic Web Technologies, INBAST, Information Systems, om Distributed Environment, ISDE, Methods, Evaluation, Tools and Applications for the Creation and Consumption of Structured Data for the e-Society, META4eS, Mobile and Social Computing for collaborative interactions, MSC, and Ontology Content, OnToContent 2014. These workshops were held as associated events at OTM 2014, the federated conferences "On The Move Towards Meaningful Internet Systems and Ubiquitous Computing", in Amantea, Italy, in October 2014. The 56 full papers presented together with 8 short papers, 6 posters and 5 keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 96 submissions. The focus of the workshops were on the following subjects models for interoperable infrastructures, applications, privacy and access control, reliability and performance, cloud and configuration management, interoperability in (System-of-)Systems, distributed information systems applications, architecture and process in distributed information system, distributed information system development and operational environment, ontology is use for eSociety, knowledge management and applications for eSociety, social networks and social services, social and mobile intelligence, and multimodal interaction and collaboration.

This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of seven international workshops held as part of OTM 2004 in Agia Napa, Cyprus in October 2004. The 73 revised papers presented together with 31 abstracts of posters from the OTM main conferences were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 150 submissions. In accordance with the 7 workshops, the papers are organized in topical sections on grid computing and its applications to data analysis; Java technologies for real-time and embedded systems; modeling inter-organizational systems; regulatory ontologies; ontologies, semantics and e-learning; PhD symposium; and interoperability.

The two-volume set LNCS 7565 and 7566 constitutes the refereed proceedings of three confederated international conferences: Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS 2012), Distributed Objects and Applications - Secure Virtual Infrastructures (DOA-SVI 2012), and Ontologies, DataBases and Applications of SEmantics (ODBASE 2012) held as part of OTM 2012 in September 2012 in Rome, Italy. The 53 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 169 submissions. The 31 full papers included in the second volume constitute the proceedings of DOA-SVI 2012 with 10 full papers organized in topical sections on privacy in the cloud; resource management and assurance; context, compliance and attack; and ODBASE 2012 with 21 full papers organized in topical sections on using ontologies and semantics; applying probalistic techniques to semantic information; exploiting and querying semantic information; and managing and storing semantic information.

This two-volume set LNCS 4277/4278 constitutes the refereed proceedings of 14 international workshops held as part of OTM 2006 in Montpellier, France in October/November 2006. The 191 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 493 submissions to the workshops. The first volume begins with 26 additional revised short or poster papers of the OTM 2006 main conferences.

This two-volume set LNCS 5870/5871 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the four confederated international conferences on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS 2009), Distributed Objects and Applications (DOA 2009), Information Security (IS 2009), and Ontologies, Databases and Applications of Semantics (ODBASE 2009), held as OTM 2009 in Vilamoura, Portugal, in November 2009. The 83 revised full papers presented together with 4 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 234 submissions. Corresponding to the four OTM 2009 main conferences CoopIS, DOA, IS, and ODBASE the papers are organized in topical sections on workflow; process models; ontology challenges; network complexity; modeling cooperation; information complexity; infrastructure; information; aspect-oriented approaches for distributed middleware; distributed algorithms and communication protocols; distributed infrastructures for cluster and Grid computing; object-based, component-based, resource-oriented, event-oriented, and service-oriented middleware; peer-to-peer and centralized infrastructures; performance analysis of distributed computing systems; reliability, fault tolerance, quality of service, and real time support; self* properties in distributed middleware; software engineering for distributed middleware systems; security and privacy in a connected world; ubiquitous and pervasive computing; information systems security; privacy and authentication; security policies and verification; managing ontologies; using ontologies; event processing; dealing with heterogeneity; building knowledge bases; and XML and XML schema.
