> Description:
> 
> Digital libraries (DLs) are increasingly common on the Web,
> providing ordered, vetted digital collections to targeted user groups.
> To date, much of DL research has focused on the acquisition and
> representation of digital objects, optimizing and personalizing user
> services, and interoperability efforts.  Few DLs employ mirrors, much less
> some of the more sophisticated, non-client-server architectures found
> in WWW deployment, e.g. peer-to-peer systems and distributed storage
> architectures.  Although these new architectures have been succesfully
> applied to a large number of Internet services, they have had little
> impact on DL research.  Are they technically suitable for DL use, or do
> social and economic issues prevent their adoption?
> 
> This workshop will explore these issues as well as highlight some of the
> more novel DL architectures.  A range of theoretical, technical,
> and speculative papers are sought to discuss and propose alternate DL
> architectures and approaches.  Papers are requested in the following
> and related topics:
> 
>         - Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems
>         - Adaptive digital libraries
>         - Wireless access to digital libraries
>         - Grid computing
>         - Distributed searching
>         - Metadata harvesting
>         - Distributed storage systems
>         - Serverless storage and information retrieval
>         - DL requirements vs. ordinary web requirements
>         - Provenance, trust, integrity and archival issues
>           in distributed digital libraries
>

> Important Dates:
> 
>         April 20, 2002           Paper Submission

> Submission details:
> 
> Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing
> original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be carefully
> evaluated by the technical committee for originality, significance,
> technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.  Submissions will only
> be accepted in PDF, emailed to the co-chairs.  Accepted papers will be
> published by IEEE Computer Society Press as proceedings of the ICPP'2002
> workshops. All submitted papers must be formatted according to the author
> guideline provided by IEEE Computer Society Press (two column-format),
> and accepted papers must not exceed six pages.  Please contact the
> co-chairs with any questions.
