The explosive growth and popularity of the world-wide web has resulted
in a huge number of information sources on the Internet and the
promise of unprecedented information-gathering capabilities to lay
users. Unfortunately, the promise has not yet been transformed into
reality. While there are sources relevant to virtually any user's
query, the morass of sources presents a formidable hurdle to
effectively accessing the information. One way of alleviating this
problem is to develop web-based information integration systems or
agents, which take a user's query or request (e.g., monitor a site),
and access the relevant sources or services to efficiently support the
request.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers that are
working in a variety of areas that are all related to the larger
problem of integrating information on the Web. This includes research
in the areas of machine learning, data mining, automatic planning,
constraint reasoning, databases, view integration, information
extraction, semantic web, web services, and other related areas.
