The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussing issues related to the realization of these next generation systems. These issues include but are not limited to: * Architecture of NGITS systems. * Paradigms for the design and implementation of NGITS (software repositories, application generators, and object orientation). * Knowledge and Data management issues in NGITS. * Multi-Media technologies. * Intelligent Information Systems. * Cooperation and Collaboration in NGITS. * Computer Vision and its use in NGITS. * The user's perspectives: NGITS interfaces. * Inter-Disciplinary Research required for NGITS. * Industrial Applications of NGITS. We solicit contributions of two types: * Research papers (extended abstracts limited to 10 double-spaced pages) * Position papers (about any of the relevant issues). The workshop will feature paper presentations, discussions and panels based on position papers submitted, a "feedback from the industry perspective" panel and invited speakers. All accepted papers will appear in a conference proceedings. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Intelligent Information Systems. ------------------------------------------- INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS: In order to promote the paperless society, we shall strive to handle the submission and review processes by electronic mail.
