This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies, held in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, in May 2008. The 32 papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 238 submissions, resulting in an acceptance rate of 13.5%. The papers are grouped in four parts on internet technology; Web interfaces and applications; society, e-Business, and e-Government; and e-Learning.

DIWA-Design and use of Interactive Web Applications Background In the past few years Web-technology has matured enough to become an attractive platform for business applications and organizational information systems. Indeed, large and small organizations are increasing their investment in Web-based Information Systems (IS) resources, such as electronic commerce, intranets and extranets. And, in the business press Web technology is often presented as a 'revolution' in network and information technologies-propelling change from static, hierarchical structures to more dynamic, flexible and 'knowledge-based' organizational forms. However, at the present time, organizational models for implementing and managing Web-applications can only be described as emergent. The technology is in a state of flux-with competition among alternative products and technical standards-and organizations designing and implementing Web-based systems are often in the dark with regard to appropriate organizational models and technological solutions. Responding to this situation, in this project we focus on the design, management and use of advanced Web-based applications. We call these "interactive Web applications." These differ from ordinary Web-sites (a set of Webpages) in that they mediate interactions among multiple distributed actors who are not only users, but also designers in the sense that they contribute to the system's structure and content. 1 Interactive Webapplications are often tightly integrated with other, non-Web-based information systems, e.g. databases and transaction processing systems. Flexible and integrative by nature, interactive Web-applications serve a range of purposes. They provide a universal multi-modal user interface to business applications, databases and legacy systems, while supporting document and workflow management, cooperative work and distributed knowledge sharing.

Software components that rely on the Internet in order to be accessed and used cover many aspects of our daily activities including email checking, weather checking, purchase ordering, and Facebook logging. Nowadays, these components are considered one of the most valuable and fundamental rights in human's life. However, accessing and using the functionality of such components are performed using two techniques: web applications or traditional web services. Determining which one of the techniques is better suited for delivering the functionality of an Internet-based software component is not an easy task to decide. Therefore, this paper aimed to make a comparative analysis and study of both techniques alongside many directions to help web developers make the right choice to deliver the functionality of Internet-based software components. This is achieved by providing them with a set of requirements that have been proposed by the authors. The proposed requirements clarify a number of misunderstandings and issues peculiar to both techniques. Furthermore, this paper has provided a comparative table of both techniques. To the best of our knowledge, so far there is no comprehensive comparative study has been conducted in this context which was the rationale for the authors to carry out this study.

The African Virtual University (AVU) is proud to participate in increasing access to education in African countries through the production of quality learning materials. We are also proud to contribute to global knowledge as our Open Educational Resources are mostly accessed from outside the African continent. This module was developed as part of a diploma and degree program in Applied Computer Science, in collaboration with 18 African partner institutions from 16 countries. A total of 156 modules were developed or translated to ensure availability in English, French and Portuguese. These modules have also been made available as open education resources (OER) on oer.avu. org.

The World Wide Web is evolving from a collection of texts linked by hypertext and hypermedia toward services that operate interactively with the information user, and which offer results through use of a broad spectrum of tools. This paper presents a collection of interactive WWW services. The services are classified on the basis of the client software required to access them. The evolution of WWW services is shown with examples. In the future, more services will probably produce multimedia results based on information located on several distributed servers, in a close interaction with the user. This paper provides a brief description of the evolution of the WWW, describes and classifies advanced applications that are available on the Web, and discusses how the WWW might and should develop further. The selection of interactive sites is discussed. Items representative of the whole collection are listed by category and have a brief description in addition to their uniform resource locators (URLs). Categories include: meta search engines; HTML checkers; work and text; science and engineering; atlases and maps; games; and other collections of interactive WWW services. (Contains 18 references.)

The recent diffusion of WWW technology and the widespread need of producing high quality WWW applications in a cost-effective manner have made important to improve the quality and the efficiency of the engineering process for WWW sites. In this paper we argue that the first ingredient needed for a well-organized process is a design model, able to describe the structural and navigational properties of WWW applications. The second ingredient is a suitable set of tools supporting the design and the development of the applications. Assuming HDM as design model, we present JWeb, a suite of tools supporting several activities: initial conceptual design, development of supporting database to store data, insertion of data, customization of design for specific applications, prototyping of applications etc.

With the growing use of Internet, demand for intelligent and user-friendly applications is increasing continuously. Thus we are providing with the user-friendly application where desktop resides within the web browser. As the Internet is easily accessible from any corner of the world the user can access this web application anytime from anywhere. Web-based Application is work as a normal operating system where applications provided by it can be handled just like using the normal desktop. The application is provided with network sharing, file sharing, document printing, games, group chatting applications and interestingly with social media applications like Facebook, Instagram and email. The advanced feature provided to our client is Stateful state of the system in which the position of the icons and the windows opened while working on the desktop will remain same whenever you login into the virtual desktop.
